// TECHNICAL VALIDATION

Find out if your idea is worth building.

Most AI projects fail because the idea was wrong, not because of bad engineering. We assess technical feasibility, realistic cost, and whether AI is the right tool — before you commit to building.

We might tell you not to build it. That's the point.

// THE PROCESS

How it works.

WEEK 0

Scoping

Goal: understand if there's something to build

  • Problem definition
  • User interviews
  • Data assessment
  • AI feasibility
  • Decision: proceed or not

WEEK 1

Technical Assessment

Goal: honest feasibility verdict

  • Architecture options
  • AI vs non-AI tradeoffs
  • Cost modelling
  • Risk identification
  • Written report

WEEKS 1–4

Build (if validated)

Goal: working system in production

  • Full-stack implementation
  • AI pipeline
  • Infrastructure
  • Observability
  • Deployment

// WHAT YOU GET

Everything you need to decide.

Written feasibility report
Tech stack recommendation
Cost estimate
Build / don't-build verdict
Source code (if built)
Deployed environment (if built)
Architecture documentation

// THE DELIVERABLE

A written verdict, not a slide deck.

At the end of the assessment you get a clear written document: what we'd build, how, what it costs, and the honest risks. If we wouldn't build it, we say so.

// IS THIS RIGHT FOR YOU?

Right projects. Wrong projects.

Good candidates

  • Document processing
  • Internal automation
  • AI search
  • Data extraction
  • Workflow automation
  • LLM-powered tools
  • Computer vision

Not for us

  • Full SaaS platforms
  • Custom ML research
  • Robotics
  • Large dataset training
  • Complex legacy integrations
  • Anyone expecting deterministic AI outputs

// SCOPE BOUNDARIES

What is not included.

Mobile apps Enterprise integrations Custom ML training Large dataset curation Security audits Ongoing maintenance

// BEFORE WE START

Four questions we ask before accepting.

01 What problem are you solving?
02 Who is the user?
03 What data exists?
04 What does good look like after four weeks?

If the answers are vague, we'll say so. Vague requirements produce bad software.
