What to expect from your Discovery Session

No buzzwords. No hype. Here's exactly what happens in your 30-minute AI Discovery Call — focused entirely on practical, measurable outcomes.

Minutes 0–5

We listen first

You tell us what you're building, why, and what's happened so far. No interruptions. We want to understand your world before we say anything about ours.

Minutes 5–15

We ask the hard questions

Budget reality. Timeline expectations. Technical complexity. Assumptions that could cost you later. We surface these early — catching them now is worth tens of thousands of dollars.

Minutes 15–25

We give you real numbers

Based on 900+ projects — a realistic cost range, timeline estimate, and honest risk assessment. Not ballpark guesses. Real ranges you can plan and budget around.
Minutes 25–30

We tell you if we're the right fit

EB Pearls doesn't take every project. If your brief isn't ready we'll tell you what's missing. If another approach is better suited, we'll say so. Honesty here is better for both of us.
After the call

You get a clear next step

If we're aligned, you'll receive a written summary and proposal for the Discovery Workshop™ — producing your Locked Scope Document™ and fixed-price proposal within 48 hours.
No obligation

Nothing changes if you're not ready

No obligation to proceed. Some use it to validate thinking before investor pitches. Some benchmark against other agencies. Bring your real questions.

Helpful tips to make your Discovery Call more powerful

The better prepared you are, the more useful the call will be. These come from the conversations that produce the best outcomes.

target

Know your one most important question

Write it down before the call. Whether it's budget, timeline, technical risk, or a previous bad experience — bring the real question. We'd rather tackle it head-on than spend 30 minutes on the wrong things

Name 3 products or competitors you admire

References give us more signal than a brief alone. What specific features matter? The interaction model you're drawn to tells us a lot about what success looks like for your project.

chat-circle-dots

Be honest about what you don't know yet

The most productive calls start with "I'm not sure about X yet." That's fine. The worst calls paper over gaps. We find them anyway — better to start there together.

icons-cash-bag

Have a real budget range in mind

You don't need to disclose it, but having one shapes the conversation. It means we can give genuinely useful advice rather than describing what's theoretically possible.

user-circle-plus

Bring the decision-maker

The best outcomes happen when the person with budget authority is in the room. It avoids a chain of "I need to check with…" and lets everyone hear the same information at once.

Before you join, read these two pages

Clients who review our pricing and process pages before the call say the conversation is more focused and useful — we skip the basics and go straight to your project.

What to prepare for your AI & Automation Planning Meeting

You don't need everything below. But the more of it you have, the faster we move from conversation to concrete proposal.

Your idea & problem statement

  • What problem does this solve?

  • Any third-party integrations required?
  • Web, mobile, or both?
  • Do you need an admin panel or dashboard?

Business context

  • Stage: pre-revenue, early revenue, or scaling?
  • Funding: bootstrapped, investor-backed, or enterprise?
  • Who are your competitors?
  • Timeline pressure — hard launch date?
  • How will this generate or save revenue?

Technical context (if any)

  • Existing product or codebase?
  • Systems to integrate with?
  • Previous agency work?
  • Design assets or brand guide?
  • Compliance requirements (health, finance, legal)?

You don't need all of this.

Many of our best engagements started with a single paragraph. The Discovery Call is designed to help shape your brief — not require a perfect one upfront. Bring what you have.

From this call to live product

Every EB Pearls engagement follows the Built to Last™ framework. Here's the full journey from today.
  1. 01 Discovery Call — 30 minutes We assess your brief, give you real numbers, identify risks, and determine fit. You walk away knowing whether EB Pearls is the right team and what the path forward looks like.
  2. 02 Deep-dive scope & planning — 3 to 6 weeks Full product design in Figma, every user journey mapped, technical architecture planned, riskiest assumptions tested. Produces your Locked Scope Document™ — locking your price and timeline before a line of code is written. The $15K Discovery fee is credited toward your build.
  3. 03 Agile development in 2-week sprints — 3 to 9 months Your dedicated team builds against the locked scope in fortnightly sprints. Working software every two weeks — not a finished product 9 months later. Full Jira visibility. Weekly syncs. No surprises.
  4. 04 Pre-launch quality gate — 1 to 2 weeks Performance, security, compliance, load testing. Nothing ships that isn't ready for real users at real scale.
  5. 05 Go live — then we stay Launch support, ongoing maintenance, and the option to continue with a Delivery Squad or monthly retainer. 97% of our clients continue working with us after launch.
