AI POC
An AI proof of concept exists to answer one question quickly: does this idea work well enough on our real data to justify building it properly? We scope, build and evaluate it in a short, fixed effort.
- Focus
- A tightly scoped proof of concept that answers whether the idea works.
- Suits
- Teams who need evidence before funding a build
Built around your business.
A good POC is deliberately narrow. We agree the success criteria up front, so at the end there's a clear decision rather than a demo that is hard to judge.
What we deliver.
- 01
Success criteria
The metric, the sample data and the threshold that would count as a pass, agreed before work starts.
- 02
Working prototype
The smallest end-to-end version that runs on your data, without production polish.
- 03
Evaluation report
Results against the criteria, failure examples and where the approach breaks down.
- 04
Go / no-go recommendation
A plain recommendation, with the effort and risks of taking it to production.
Where it's used.
Testing a document-understanding idea
Checking whether extraction from your real invoices, forms or contracts is accurate enough.
Validating an assistant before rollout
Seeing how a chat assistant answers real questions from your knowledge base.
De-risking a vendor decision
Comparing an approach on your data before signing a long contract.
How we work.
01
Discover
We agree the problem, the data available and how success will be judged.
02
Prove
A small, testable version on your own data shows what works before larger spend.
03
Build
Production engineering: integrations, safeguards, review steps and monitoring.
04
Improve
We measure real usage, fix what falls short and keep quality and cost in check.
Best fit.
- Teams who need evidence before funding a build
- Leaders comparing two or three approaches
- Projects with uncertain data quality
