When a standard website cannot handle the workflow, start by mapping the work people need to complete.
A custom web application should make roles, data and exceptions clear.
Work we can scope
Agree what belongs in the project.
Plan application screens, APIs and integrations with explicit acceptance criteria.
Scope validation, error handling, audit requirements and the operational handover.
Decisions before work starts
Confirm who owns the data, code, hosting accounts and integration credentials. Prioritise a useful first release instead of combining every possible feature into an untestable brief.
How the work should be reviewed
Review end-to-end scenarios for each agreed role, including failed requests and recovery paths. Record deployment, backup and ongoing support responsibilities.
A question worth asking
Should we build every requested feature at once?
Start with the essential workflow and its dependencies. Additional dashboards, integrations and approval layers can be planned as later stages once the first release has clear acceptance checks.

A practical situation to plan for
A team currently moves the same request between spreadsheets and email. A discovery exercise can map one request from submission through review to completion, including exceptions and permission boundaries.
What to agree and check at handover
Ask for acceptance criteria based on real roles and sample tasks. Clarify data migration, integrations, deployment, source-code ownership and the difference between correcting a defect and requesting another feature.
