Spec Synthesis

1. System Architecture

We define multi-tier architecture, determine microservices vs modular monolith boundaries, and specify API contracts to ensure horizontal scalability.

2. Schema & DB Modeling

Relational PostgreSQL or NoSQL models, indexing strategies, audit logs, and compliance schemas designed before a single line of application code is written.

3. Interactive Prototyping

Clickable Figma wireframes with full design system tokens, responsive states, and validated user ergonomics for executive and stakeholder sign-off.

Discovery Phase Deliverables
