The result is a directional planning brief, not a formal architecture, estimate, security assessment, contract, or statement of work.

Free browser-based planning tool

Turn an early software idea into a useful discovery brief.

Answer a short series of questions about the project, its users, required capabilities, integrations, security needs, and delivery priorities. The generator creates a clear Markdown brief you can copy, download, print, or share with any development team.

Software discovery template

A practical starting point for software discovery

A project brief organizes the context a product, business, and delivery team need before they make detailed architecture, scope, cost, or schedule decisions.

Clarify the problem before the solution

Capture the business problem, users, current process, and success criteria so later design decisions stay connected to a useful outcome.

Separate the first release from later ideas

Distinguish must-have workflows, deferred capabilities, and explicit exclusions without turning an early brief into a binding estimate.

Make discovery questions visible

Surface integration, data, security, operational, and ownership decisions that should be validated with the appropriate technical and business stakeholders.

Replacing or modernizing an existing application?

Use the Application Modernization Readiness Assessment to identify preparation priorities around architecture, delivery, operations, maintainability, and security.

Take the modernization assessment

Ready for a technical starting point?

Generate an opinionated Astro and Spring Boot monorepo with optional content, Docker, Helm, observability, and security scaffolding.
