Submitting the application is free. Suitable enquiries are invited into a $295 paid discovery discussion before deeper proposal, validation, or production work begins.

How the pathway works

A clear first step before committing to development.

Platform Foundry uses the application and discovery process to understand fit, reduce uncertainty, and recommend a sensible next step.

Free application reviewTell us about the company, current process, problem, users, and intended outcome. Submission does not schedule a meeting automatically.

Paid discovery — $295If suitable, Platform Foundry provides payment instructions and arranges a focused discussion with company oversight.

POC/MVP — from $2,950Where useful, validate one important workflow or working loop before a full production commitment.

Production and supportProceed into an agreed setup, deployment, hosting, maintenance, improvement, and integration pathway.

When the client proceeds to an agreed production setup under the stated offer terms, 50% of the POC/MVP fee is credited toward that setup.

What discovery covers

A business-first conversation about fit, scope, and the first useful outcome.

Paid discovery is not a full requirements specification or implementation phase. It is a focused review intended to clarify the problem and identify the right commercial and delivery pathway.

What we review

The business problem and why it matters now.
Current manual, spreadsheet, email, or system process.
Users, roles, decisions, data, evidence, and reporting needs.
Likely risks, integrations, security, and deployment considerations.
Whether a packaged capability, POC/MVP, or custom production build is the better next step.

Strongest fit

Companies with a clear operational or commercial requirement.
Our core wheelhouse: approximately $5M–$25M in annual revenue.
Smaller or larger organizations with a focused and commercially clear need.
Teams seeking an accountable development and support partner.
Organizations willing to participate in review, testing, and staged decisions.

Confidentiality by default: Information submitted through the application is reviewed for legitimate discovery and service purposes.

Submit the requirement for review.

The secure form asks for company details, the capability of interest, a requirement summary, commercial context, budget range, and the necessary consent acknowledgements.
