Do I need to complete every section?
No. Fill what you know and mark unknowns. Clear unknowns are better than hidden assumptions.

FAQ
Questions before you use this page
Can I use this for a mobile app?
Yes. The template works for web apps, mobile apps, SaaS products, AI features, and rebuilds.
Can SoftwareCrafting review my brief?
Yes. Send it through the hire-us page and we will recommend the next step.
Do I need designs before asking for a software quote?
No, but they help. Without designs, send the main workflows, reference products you like, and the must-have screens, so the agency can estimate the discovery and UX work as well as the build.
Should I share my budget?
Yes. A budget range lets the agency propose a realistic first version that fits it, instead of guessing and quoting something you cannot use.
What if I only have an idea?
Describe the goal, target users, the problem, examples of similar products, and your launch constraints. The right next step may be a short discovery phase before anyone can quote the full build.
