We rapidly develop working POCs using AI tools and rapid prototyping methodologies. We validate technical feasibility, build working prototypes, and test core concepts in 2-4 weeks instead of months. We use agile development, AI-assisted coding, and modern tools to accelerate development.
We conduct comprehensive validation including technical testing, business case assessment, user acceptance testing, and ROI evaluation. We identify what works, what doesn't, and what needs refinement. We provide go/no-go recommendations based on validated results.
We transform validated POCs into production pilots through structured acceleration framework. We develop technical roadmap, plan resources, assess risks, and deploy pilots. We provide ongoing support, monitoring, and scaling strategy to ensure successful pilot launch and production readiness.
4-12 Weeks

Our POC Flipping service uses modern AI tools, rapid prototyping platforms, and agile development methodologies to accelerate innovation.
Risk: Rapidly developed POC works in prototype but fails when scaled to production due to technical limitations, performance issues, or integration challenges.
Safeguard: We conduct technical feasibility assessment early, design for scalability from the start, and validate performance under production-like conditions. We include scalability testing, load testing, and integration validation in our framework. We provide clear go/no-go criteria based on production readiness.
Risk: POC moves to pilot without proper validation, leading to production failures, wasted investment, or poor user adoption.
Safeguard: We use comprehensive validation framework including technical testing, business case validation, user acceptance testing, and ROI assessment. We provide clear validation criteria and go/no-go recommendations. We don't accelerate to pilot without validated results.
Risk: Multiple POCs compete for resources without clear prioritization, leading to resource conflicts, delays, and failed initiatives.
Safeguard: We provide innovation portfolio management with clear scoring, prioritization, and resource allocation. We establish portfolio governance, success metrics, and decision frameworks. We ensure POCs are managed systematically, not ad-hoc.
Challenge: A mid-market technology company had 8 AI product POCs stuck in development for 12-18 months. Low success rate (25%), unclear prioritization, and no systematic approach to moving POCs to production. Innovation pipeline was stalled.
Solution: We implemented POC Flipping framework with rapid prototyping (2-3 weeks per POC), structured validation, and portfolio management. We prioritized 3 high-value POCs, rapidly prototyped and validated them, then accelerated to production pilots within 4 months.
Impact: Reduced time-to-market from 15 months to 5 months (67% reduction). Increased POC success rate from 25% to 60%. Launched 3 production pilots within 6 months. Increased innovation pipeline value by 2.5X through better prioritization and faster validation.
Challenge: A financial services firm had multiple AI service POCs for customer engagement but couldn't validate or deploy them. Long development cycles (10-12 months), high failure rate, and no clear path from POC to pilot. Needed rapid validation before regulatory approval.
Solution: We developed rapid prototyping approach with 3-week POC cycles, comprehensive validation framework including regulatory compliance assessment, and structured pilot acceleration. We validated 4 POCs, selected 2 for pilot, and deployed production pilots within 5 months.
Impact: Reduced development cycle from 12 months to 5 months (58% reduction). Increased validation success rate from 30% to 65%. Deployed 2 production pilots with regulatory approval. Achieved 3.2X ROI through faster time-to-market and reduced development costs.
POC Flipping focuses on rapid validation and acceleration, not full product development. We use rapid prototyping, AI-assisted development, and agile methodologies to build working POCs in weeks, not months. We validate concepts quickly before committing to full-scale development. It's about speed and validation, not perfection.
We break complex POCs into smaller, validated components. We use modular approaches, build MVPs (Minimum Viable Products), and validate core concepts first before adding complexity. Even complex POCs can be rapidly prototyped by focusing on key features and validating assumptions early. We adapt our approach to your complexity level.
We include production readiness assessment in our validation framework. We test scalability, performance, integration, security, and compliance. We provide clear go/no-go criteria and production readiness checklist. We don't accelerate to pilot without validated production readiness. Our pilot acceleration includes production deployment support.
Yes, portfolio management is a core part of our service. We help prioritize POCs, allocate resources, track progress, and optimize portfolio value. We can run multiple POCs in parallel, manage dependencies, and ensure systematic portfolio governance. We provide portfolio dashboards and decision frameworks.
We provide ongoing support during pilot phase including monitoring, optimization, and scaling strategy. We help transition successful pilots to full production. We can also provide production deployment support or hand off to your internal team. We ensure smooth transition from pilot to production.
We track time-to-market, POC success rates, innovation pipeline value, development costs, and pilot outcomes. We provide success metrics and ROI reports showing time savings, cost reductions, and innovation value created. Most clients see 2-3X ROI through faster time-to-market, reduced development costs, and increased innovation success.
Yes, our framework works for both product and service innovations. We adapt our approach based on innovation type—product POCs focus on technical feasibility and user experience, service POCs focus on service design and customer value. The rapid prototyping and validation principles apply to both.
