At CodeLeap, we love tech challenges! So if you have an unconventional idea, you came to the right place.

We often get approached by people who have innovative ideas – which we love – but that are not very easy to scope and price with just a few conversations.

💡 For example, imagine you were looking to build a business management software that has to be integrated with your existing accounting software to sync information about transactions, while also being integrated with an external database provider to fetch live data about share prices from global stock exchanges?

To provide you with a quote for something like this, we would have to do some research to answer some initial questions:

• What type of support does your existing accounting software offer for third-party integrations? How do they structure the data that we need?
• What are the databases available to fetch the data that we need? How much do they cost?
• Do these providers offer open developer APIs? How can we access them?

To find the answers to these questions, we might need to run a separate Research Project before starting on your actual project.

Step 1: Receive your Research Proposal

To start this research phase, we will discuss your project requirements with you and send you a Research Proposal, detailing how many days of research we will need and how we will use them. The Research Projects are priced the same way as our development projects.

Step 2: Run a Research Project

Typically, a Research Project can take from 2 to 10 development days, and these days can be spread over a few weeks to allow for more flexibility and better communication.

A specialist from our team will be allocated to your project, keeping in touch with you throughout the entire process to make we are going in the right direction.

Step 3: Receive a detailed Development Proposal

At the end of this Research Project, our team should have a very deep understanding of how to best develop your product, its costs and expected development time – and we will be ready to send a final proposal for you for the development of your entire project.
