Questions
About Zeg Compass.
Do we have to build with DigitalZeg afterwards?
No. The roadmap and prototype are yours. If you do build with us within 60 days, the full sprint fee is credited against the first project.
How much of our team's time does it need?
Usually a two-hour kick-off, a few 45-minute sessions with key staff, and the final presentation. Around six to eight hours in total across the two weeks.
Is it only about AI?
No. Zeg Compass covers websites, software, data, cloud and AI. Sometimes the best answer isn't AI at all.
What if we already know what we want to build?
Then we use the sprint to test the idea, cost it properly and find risks early, which usually saves more than the sprint costs.
