What you get

Proof of concept

A working prototype in 2–4 weeks, to test whether an idea holds up before you fund a full build.

01

The question

What exactly the proof of concept must prove, agreed on day 1.

02

The prototype

Working software for the riskiest part, using your real data where possible.

03

Findings

What worked, what didn't and what a full build would take.

04

A recommendation

Build, change course or stop, with costs for each.

Where it fits

Good places
to start

  1. 01
    New AI features

    Checking a model can reach useful accuracy on your data.

  2. 02
    Hard integrations

    Proving an old or awkward system can be connected.

  3. 03
    Funding decisions

    Evidence for a board or investors before a bigger commitment.

How it runs

Small steps,
shown every week

Whatever the question needsPythonTypeScriptYour data
  1. 1–2 weeks
    Discover

    We map how the work happens today and agree what done looks like.

  2. 2–4 weeks
    Prototype

    The riskiest flow first, on your real data, while change is cheap.

  3. 2-week sprints
    Build

    Weekly demos and a shared backlog you can reorder at any time.

  4. Ongoing
    Run

    Monitoring, agreed response times and a monthly review of usage.

Questions

Before you start

What if it doesn't work?
Then you've spent 2–4 weeks finding out instead of 6 months. We'll say so plainly.
Is the prototype code reusable?
Parts often are, but it's built to answer a question quickly, not to run in production.
Who owns what you build?
You do. Code, designs and accounts belong to you from day one, and leaving us is a handover.
