Proof of Concept

Validate your idea & mitigate risk

You’ve got a great idea, but before diving into development, you need proof – proof that it’s feasible, viable, future-proof, and that people actually want it. Innovation is an adventure, and with every new idea comes uncertainty. That’s perfectly fine, especially since the real risk lies in hidden assumptions and moving forward without knowing what truly matters.

 

Enter the Proof of Concept. It’s your map to uncover the unknowns, test your assumptions, and gather real-world feedback before building anything major. This way, you’ll know early on if you’re on the right track or if it’s time to pivot.

We help you move quickly, validate smartly, and minimize risk so you don’t waste time (and money) chasing the wrong idea. By making those hidden risks explicit, you can move forward with confidence.

In no time at all, you’ll have the clarity you need to decide whether to forge ahead or adjust course. And we’ll be right there by your side.

The 4 key aspects of a successful product

Feasability – Can we build it?

Viability – Should we build it?

Desirability – Does anyone want us to build it?

Future-proof – Is it built to last?

How we work

We have a battle-tested, methodical plan for defining and running proof of concepts:

01

Chart the unknown

Together with stakeholders, we align on the proof of concept’s purpose and identify the biggest unknowns (i.e., risks) across viability, desirability, feasibility, and sustainability – what must be true for the idea to succeed?

02

Design the mission

We translate assumptions into testable hypotheses, define what success looks like, and develop a practical test plan. We also determine the right level of prototyping, ranging from simple mockups to functional integrations.

03

Run the expedition

We create the prototype and test the idea through qualitative and quantitative methods. Testing is iterative by nature – we refine prototypes based on feedback and run multiple rounds if needed.

04

Decode findings & choose a path

We analyze the results, extract key insights, and help the stakeholder tell the story. Based on what we’ve learned, we make informed decisions about the next steps, whether that’s to pivot, proceed, or go back to the drawing board.

What you’ll get

By the end, you’ll have:

A prototype – Don’t get too attached because this prototype is solely used to test the hypotheses and therefore entirely disposable

Valuable data – All the data we gathered while testing is invaluable to the rest of our product development stage

Solid foundation – A summary of everything we’ve learned during the PoC and a clear idea about where you’re going

Do you know what problem you’re solving?

A strong Proof of Concept requires a clearly defined problem to solve, along with a broad understanding of the envisioned product and the necessary technology. If you need help defining the problem you want to solve, have a look at our Digital Consulting services. As always, we’re happy to help.
