These articles are not meant to replace a proper discovery conversation — but they can give you language, structure and examples before we talk. Many clients share links from this page inside their own teams.
1. Share with your internal stakeholders
Send relevant guides to co-founders, managers or team leads. Ask them which parts feel closest to your current situation and where they see the biggest gaps.
2. Mark specific sections for your use case
Save or highlight sections that match your processes — for example, immigration file steps, logistics flows or retail order journeys. This makes later discussions faster.
3. Turn insights into a first brief
Use these resources as a starting point to write a simple, honest brief: where you are today, what you want to change and which constraints matter most.
