THE CHALLENGE

Discovery is the most important phase of any project. It’s also the most painful.

  1. 01

    Finding the right people

    Who actually needs a say? Someone always gets missed, and you don’t find out until right before go-live.

  2. 02

    Interviews & Workshops

    Scheduling, facilitating, taking notes, synthesizing. Weeks go by before the first requirement is even written down.

  3. 03

    Balancing competing interests

    Reconciling conflicting requirements without a clear view of their business impact.

So it gets rushed, watered down, or skipped entirely. And you end up building something nobody actually needed.

SHAPE Requirements Intelligence doesn’t replace the concept. It replaces the grunt work behind it.

AI agents handle stakeholder mapping, interviews, and validation.
Your team stays fully in control.

HOW IT WORKS

From first stakeholder to clickable prototype. All at once, not one step at a time.

Concept Setup

A sentence or two is enough. SHAPE creates the demand and follows up if needed.

02

Involve your stakeholder

Invite stakeholders or let the system suggest them.

03

Agents gather requirements

Via chat, voice, or forms. Asynchronously, whenever it works for each stakeholder.

04

Continuous Translation

Inputs are continuously turned into epics and user stories with acceptance criteria.

05

Value Intelligence

06

See, Test, Validate

Interactive prototypes take shape as requirements come in.

„After just 30 minutes with SHAPE, we had a solid business case. Qualification, pain points, expectations – normally, I would have needed at least three meetings to put together a document like that.“
