Functional Scoping Document

Define the features, flows, and responsibilities of your outsourced development project — before writing any code.


​


​


​


​

Many outsourced projects fail not because of poor coding, but because the brief was unclear.


We help you write a clear, structured functional scoping document that describes what your app or system should do, how users interact with it, and how success is measured.


It’s your blueprint — for planning, budgeting, and managing any developer, in English or Chinese.




Why You Need Help

A vague idea turns into delays and rework when passed to developers without a detailed brief.


We turn your business idea into a practical scope, so you can hire or manage developers with clarity and control.
