Rapid start

Rapid start is our default way to begin new work. Instead of spending weeks specifying requirements up front, we stand up a working slice on our platform quickly and iterate with real users.

The four steps​

  1. Start with the broad brush
    Identify which part of the business you want to understand. Favor something that spans multiple organisations or teams, hasn’t been looked at end‑to‑end, and has a strong primary flow of real things (plus supporting flows). Do a high‑level flow mapping to align on scope and outcomes.

  2. Hunt the data
    Find the data that already exists to explain that flow: entities, events, locations, timestamps, identifiers, and relationships. Prioritise sources that give end‑to‑end traceability and enough resolution to see dynamics.

  3. Establish the first digital representation
    Use Digital Tvilling’s software to stand up the initial model and data flows quickly. Keep it thin but real: connect just enough to reflect the actual flow and answer a few high‑value questions.

  4. Put it in users’ hands and iterate
    Give access to real users and iterate on their thoughts, feedback, and ideas. Expand the model’s resolution, dive deeper into data, or extend analysis where it creates the most insight. Repeat in short cycles.

This approach gets a working representation in place fast, creates shared understanding, and builds momentum through visible progress.
