Before you build it out,
confirm it with something that works.

We turn your idea into a working prototype as fast as possible and validate the hypothesis with real data and real usage. Before building it out, we help you judge whether it should really be built at all, assembling the material you need for an investment decision in a short time. We build AI into everything from requirements to implementation to move fast — the so-called AI-driven development style. From PoC development through the contracted development that follows (design, implementation, operations), the same team stays with you.

Pain points

Do any of these sound familiar?

From the stage where you “can’t decide whether to build it” or “can’t pin down requirements,” we help you confirm it with something that works.

You have an idea, but you can’t judge whether it’s worth the investment, so you can’t move forward.
Requirements won’t settle, and you struggle to start full development.
You built something, but it wasn’t used as much as you expected.
You want to bring generative AI into your work, but you don’t know where to start testing.
You need a working demo quickly for an internal proposal or fundraising.
Reasons

Our technology and how we work

We put the hands-on know-how from building our own SaaS with AI-driven development straight to work on the speed of your validation.

  • 01Speed first, driven by AI — we build generative AI into everything from organizing requirements to implementation and move fast. We compress prototypes that used to take months into weeks, speeding up your investment decision.
  • 02Narrow to the minimum needed to validate — we avoid over-building and implement only “the minimum that lets you decide.” Where something is meant to be rebuilt in full development, we separate it out and tell you up front.
  • 03Validate with real data and real usage — we run it not on samples but on actual data and in actual usage scenes. We test the hypothesis inside the reality of how it’s used, not on paper assumptions.
Scope

What we cover

From organizing the hypothesis to prototype development, user validation, and the decision to move into full development.

01 Hypothesis

Framing the hypothesis and what to validate

We define “what we need to confirm in order to decide” first. Before starting to build anything that works, we spend a short time putting into words the hypotheses to validate and the yardstick for telling success from failure. Build with this left vague and you end up with “it sort of worked, but we can’t decide,” so this is where we spend the most time at the start.

  • Putting the hypotheses to validate into words
  • Setting the criteria for success and failure
  • Separating out what we won’t validate this time
  • Identifying the data and collaborators needed

Good fit: unsure whether to build / vague on what would settle the decision

02 Prototype

Prototype development (a few weeks)

We quickly implement only the parts needed for validation in a working form. We avoid over-building and narrow to the minimum that lets you decide. With AI-driven development that builds generative AI into everything from organizing requirements to implementation, we compress prototypes that would normally take months into weeks. Where something is meant to be rebuilt in full development, we separate it out and tell you up front.

  • Implementing only the features needed to validate
  • Speed-first prototyping with AI-driven development
  • Building it to accept real data
  • Separating throwaway parts from reusable ones

Good fit: need a working demo quickly / requirements not yet settled

03 AI

Prototyping with AI

Assuming generative AI and LLMs, we quickly test the feasibility of summarization, classification, extraction, dialogue, automation, and more. To avoid “it worked in the demo but the accuracy isn’t there in practice,” we judge where it pays off, including output variance, failure patterns, and the API cost of running it.

  • Prototyping summarization, classification, extraction, dialogue, automation
  • Validating LLM output accuracy and variance
  • Getting a read on prompt and data design
  • Rough estimate of running cost (API fees)

Good fit: want to bring generative AI into your work / unsure the accuracy will hold

04 Validation

User validation and measurement

We have it used with real data and real usage, and measure whether the hypothesis held. Beyond quantitative numbers like usage rate, accuracy, and time saved, we also pick up the qualitative reactions — where users got stuck — and organize it into results you can use for the next decision.

  • Measurement with real data and real usage
  • Measuring the quantitative (usage rate, accuracy, time saved)
  • Collecting the qualitative (reactions, sticking points)
  • Judging whether the hypothesis succeeded or failed

Good fit: want to confirm it’s used as expected / want to see the effect in numbers

05 Next

Deciding whether to move into full development

We organize things so you can decide “proceed, rebuild, or stop” with solid grounds. If you proceed to full development, we spell out the expected scope, a rough estimate, and which parts of the PoC should be rebuilt, and the same team carries straight on into design, implementation, and operations. A conclusion of “stop” is, as an investment decision, a big result too.

  • Organizing the proceed / rebuild / stop decision
  • Scope and rough estimate for full development
  • Spelling out which PoC parts should be rebuilt
  • Handover into the design and operations phases

Good fit: want material for an investment decision / want to decide whether to proceed to full development

Process

How we work

Typically in 2–4 weeks, we deliver a working prototype and validation results.

  • 01Consultation — we hear your idea, the hypothesis you want to validate, and your constraints online.
  • 02Scoping — we agree in writing on the validation scope, timeframe, and yardstick for success.
  • 03Prototype development — we turn the minimum needed to decide into something that works, in a few weeks.
  • 04Validation and reporting — we measure in real usage and summarize it as material for the next decision.
Plans

Engagement formats

We fix the validation scope and timeframe first, and start only once you’re satisfied with the estimate. The first consultation and scope-design sparring are free.

Quote

PoC development (2–4 weeks)

  • Estimate with fixed validation scope and timeframe
  • A working prototype plus a validation report
  • Material for the proceed / rebuild / stop decision
  • Additional validation expanded by agreement as needed
Next

Moving into full (contracted) development

  • A rough estimate based on the PoC results
  • The same team into design, implementation, operations
  • A handover spelling out what should be rebuilt
  • Scope agreed individually in the contract
Comparison

Compared with the alternatives

There are several ways to test an idea. The dividing line is whether, before building it out, you can judge “should it really be built” quickly with something that works.

Straight to full development

Find the direction while building

  • You build with requirements unsettled, and rework runs large
  • It’s used less than expected, and hard to recoup the investment
  • Once it’s built out, it’s hard to decide to “stop”
  • Whether the AI accuracy holds isn’t known until you build it
Decide by research and documents

Decide on paper deliberation alone

  • Little certainty, since it isn’t run on real data or real usage
  • Generative AI’s output accuracy and variance can’t be read without testing
  • No working demo to show for an internal proposal or fundraising
  • You tend to circle back to “we won’t know until we build it”
SHANNON

Confirm it first with a PoC

  • Put the hypotheses to validate and success criteria into words first
  • Compress to a working prototype in weeks with AI-driven development
  • Measure the hypothesis with real data and real usage to decide
  • If you proceed to full development, the same team carries straight on
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

We present an estimate with a fixed validation scope and timeframe, and start only once you’re satisfied. The first consultation and scope design are free. If you proceed to full (contracted) development, we hand over a rough estimate as one of the PoC deliverables.
Most engagements are short, 2–4 weeks, delivering a working prototype and validation results. Even a single hypothesis to validate is fine.
If you proceed to full development, the same team can carry it straight on into design, implementation, and operations. Because a PoC is built as “the minimum for a decision,” we also organize and tell you up front which parts are meant to be rebuilt in full development.
Yes. For summarization, classification, dialogue, automation, and the like, we test small to judge where it pays off in your work and whether it’s feasible.
