Tell us what needs building

Before you write

Four lines is enough to get a real answer

You do not need a specification. A short message covering these four things is enough for us to come back with a written scope, a cost estimate and a schedule, usually within two working days.

• What the system needs to do, in your own words
• Who will use it and roughly how many of them
• Anything it has to connect to that already exists
• When you need it working, and what happens if it slips

Both open with the four headings already written. Fill in what you know and leave the rest blank.
