From Client Interview to Priced Proposal. In Hours, Not Weeks.
Spark Discovery is an AI-powered consulting automation platform that ingests interviews, codebases, and observability data — then outputs PRDs, architecture blueprints, cost estimates, and priced proposals.
The Discovery Problem Is Killing Your Margins
Tech consulting firms spend 2–6 weeks on every new engagement doing the same thing: interviewing stakeholders, reviewing existing systems, mapping architecture, estimating effort, writing proposals.
This discovery phase is manual, repetitive, and expensive. Your best engineers — the ones who should be building — are stuck in conference rooms taking notes. Your sales cycle drags. Your proposal pipeline bottlenecks. And by the time you've scoped the project, the client has talked to three other firms.
Worse, the quality is inconsistent. One senior architect scopes a project at 12 weeks. Another scopes the same work at 20 weeks. Pricing becomes guesswork. Margins become unpredictable.
What Spark Discovery Actually Does
An AI engine that sits between your intake process and your proposal pipeline. Feed it raw inputs. Get structured, priced outputs.
What Goes In
Client Interviews
Recorded calls, meeting transcripts, stakeholder notes — any format
Existing Codebase
Git repos, architecture docs, API specs, dependency maps
Observability Data
Logs, metrics, APM traces, infra configs, cloud spend reports
Business Context
Revenue targets, team structure, timeline constraints, budget ranges
What Comes Out
Product Requirements Documents
Structured PRDs with user stories, acceptance criteria, and priority tiers
Architecture Blueprints
System diagrams, data flow maps, integration points, tech stack recommendations
Effort & Cost Estimates
Phase-by-phase estimates with confidence intervals and risk flags
Priced Proposals
Client-ready proposals with scope, timeline, milestones, and pricing options
Two Faces of Discovery
Discovery generates two sets of outputs: client-facing deliverables that win deals, and internal intelligence that protects your margins.
For Your Client
What they see and approve
Executive Summary
High-level business case and strategic rationale
Requirements Document
Prioritized features, user stories, acceptance criteria
Architecture Overview
Clean diagrams showing system design and integrations
Project Timeline
Phased delivery schedule with milestones and dependencies
Fixed-Price Proposal
Transparent pricing with payment schedule
These deliverables are polished, professional, and ready to present. Your client sees a clear path forward.
For Your Firm
Internal intelligence you keep
True Cost Model
Actual effort breakdown with confidence intervals per task
Margin Analysis
Profit projections with best/worst case scenarios
Risk Assessment
Technical debt flags, integration challenges, scope creep vectors
Resource Allocation
Optimal team composition and skill requirements by phase
Competitive Intelligence
Market comparisons and positioning recommendations
This intelligence protects your margins and keeps your team profitable. The client never sees it.
Two outputs. One platform. Discovery ensures you win the deal with compelling client deliverables, while giving you the internal intelligence to protect your margins and deliver profitably.
How It Works
Three steps. One platform. Proposals that used to take weeks now take hours.
Ingest
Upload interview recordings, connect your Git repos, pipe in observability data. Spark Discovery normalizes everything into a structured knowledge graph.
Analyze
AI models cross-reference client needs against codebase complexity, team capacity, and historical project data to generate accurate scope and pricing.
Generate
Out comes a complete deliverable package: PRDs, architecture diagrams, cost breakdowns, and a client-ready proposal — reviewed by your team, sent same day.

Common Questions
Spark Discovery takes the entire front-end of a consulting engagement — client interviews, codebase analysis, observability data — and produces PRDs, architecture blueprints, cost estimates, and priced proposals. What takes senior partners weeks of manual work, Discovery does in hours. The output quality is consistent across your entire firm, not dependent on which partner runs the engagement.
Contact us for early access pricing. We're currently working with select consulting firms to refine the platform and pricing model. Early access partners get preferential terms and direct input into the product roadmap.
