Product / Buyer scoping guide

Scope one operating thread before evaluating the software.

A useful first conversation maps the context a team needs to preserve, from the initial observation to the eventual decision.

Seven topics to map in a buyer conversation.

01ObserveWhat starts the workflow?
02LocateWhere does it belong?
03ActWhat should happen next?
04Hand overWho needs to take part?
05ResourceWhat inputs need context?
06EvidenceWhat needs to be retained?
07DecideWhat decision must it support?

Device use

Offline capture on an ordinary Android phone.

Capture survives no signal and syncs when signal returns.

The phone your team already has

Filaway is designed for an ordinary Android phone. Offline capture survives no signal and syncs when signal returns.

Four perspectives to scope

Define the context each participant needs.

Use these perspectives to structure the buyer conversation and define the context each participant would need.

01

The person doing the work

Ask what must be captured and what evidence matters. Filaway is designed for an ordinary Android phone, with offline capture and sync when signal returns.

02

The supervisor coordinating it

Map the context a supervisor would need to coordinate the selected workflow.

03

Management reviewing performance

Define the history and responsibility management would need to examine.

04

The owner or executive

Define the operating questions an owner or executive would need the selected workflow to answer.

A practical adoption path

Start with one workflow, not a wholesale replacement.

Choose a workflow where missing context creates a real operating problem. Identify useful existing systems that should remain in place. Consider a wider scope only when the operating case is clear.

  1. 01
    Choose the first workflow

    Define the observation, handovers, evidence and review that need to remain connected.

  2. 02
    Keep what remains useful

    Identify the systems and working practices that should stay, rather than assuming everything must be replaced.

  3. 03
    Consider the next scope

    Discuss another workflow only when the operating case and responsibilities are understood.

The first conversation

Scope the operating problem before the software.

The first conversation covers the workflow to improve, the people involved, the assets or locations in scope, existing systems worth retaining, field conditions, evidence needs and the decision the record must support.

Pricing follows that agreed scope. We do not publish a figure before understanding what the operation needs.
