See the hardest part work first.

The Proof of Concept builds a working pilot of your core mechanic in about four to six weeks, at a fixed scope and price. We put the single hardest part of the idea in front of you and prove it runs on your real inputs, so you see it work before you commit to the whole thing. Then we scope the full production build from what the pilot proves, not from a guess on a slide.

What you receive

  • A working pilot of the core mechanic, built in about four to six weeks at a fixed scope and price, running on your real inputs so you see the hardest part work.
  • A production build scoped from what the pilot proves, so you fund the full thing from evidence, not a guess. You see the hardest part working before you commit.
  • A clear read on feasibility: the pilot tells you plainly whether the idea holds up on your data, before a full build is funded.

What a Proof of Concept often becomes. Each of these starts as a POC from $15,000, then grows into the full build once the pilot proves out. A Knowledge Copilot, an internal assistant on your documents that answers with citations to the source. A Document Analysis Pipeline, which reads contracts or records at volume and surfaces the exceptions for a human. Catalog & Data Enrichment, which cleans, matches, and enriches messy data to your schema. Or a Custom Platform Build, a bespoke app for a process with no off-the-shelf equivalent.

This step is best for firms that want to see the hardest part working before funding a full build. If you are earlier than that and want the scope mapped first, start with Build Scoping ($3,500), which credits in full toward the work that follows.

Once the pilot proves out, the next step is the Production build, built from what the pilot proves and deployed in your own environment. See the full path on Custom AI.

FAQ

Proof of Concept, questions answered

What exactly is a Proof of Concept?

It is a working pilot of the single core mechanic of your idea, built in about four to six weeks at a fixed scope and price. We prove the hardest part runs on your real inputs before you commit to the full build.

How long does it take and what does it cost?

A Proof of Concept runs about four to six weeks at a fixed scope and price, from $15,000. We confirm the exact scope and price on a short scoping call before any work begins.

What kinds of things start as a Proof of Concept?

A Knowledge Copilot that answers on your documents with citations to the source, a Document Analysis Pipeline that reads contracts or records at volume and surfaces the exceptions for a human, Catalog and Data Enrichment that cleans and matches messy data to your schema, or a Custom Platform Build for a process with no off-the-shelf equivalent. Each starts as a POC from $15,000.

Who is this best for?

Firms that want to see the hardest part working before funding a full build. If the pilot holds up on your data, you fund the production build from evidence rather than a guess.

What happens after the pilot proves out?

We scope the full Production build from what the pilot proves, then build it and deploy it in your own environment. You see the hardest part work first, so the scope is grounded in results.

Do I need scoping first, or can I start here?

You can start here. If you want the idea and scope mapped before you commit, Build Scoping at $3,500 comes first and credits in full toward the work that follows.

When does work begin?

We review every request by hand and reply within one business day to book a short scoping call. Work begins only after the scope and payment are confirmed.
