What you receive after 2 weeks
A two-week PoC should end with working proof, not just notes. The deliverables should make the next decision easier.
Expected deliverables
The exact deliverables depend on scope, but the buyer should leave with artifacts that can be shown internally.
- Working prototype
- Demo script
- Assumptions and risks
- Next-step roadmap
- Source handover where applicable
What should be visible by then
Two weeks is not enough for a full platform, but it is enough to show whether the core workflow is real, where the risks sit, and what the next funded step should be.
- A real user path
- One connected data or API path
- Known blockers
- Demo feedback
- Recommended next scope
What should not be promised
A 2-week PoC should not pretend to be enterprise rollout. The promise is clarity: working proof, visible risk, and a practical recommendation.
- No fake ROI
- No broad transformation claim
- No hidden production assumptions
- No vague handover
Métricas clave
- 1: Core workflow - One narrow workflow should be usable enough for a real demo.
- 2w: Proof horizon - Enough time to prove a path, not enough time to hide ambiguity.
- Next: Decision output - The buyer should know whether to scale, narrow, pause, or change direction.
- Handover: Reusable asset - Code, notes, assumptions, and demo evidence should remain useful after the call.
2-week proof package
- Working slice: A small app, API, LLM workflow, or dashboard path that can be demoed.
- Demo script: The exact scenario to show stakeholders, including data and expected behavior.
- Risk memo: Known technical, data, AI, security, and adoption risks that affect the next step.
- Next scope: A recommendation for what to build, test, integrate, or stop next.
Preguntas frecuentes
- Can 2 weeks produce production software?
- Usually not a full production system. It can produce a production-shaped slice that proves the path and reveals what hardening is needed.
- What makes the output useful internally?
- A demo scenario, written risks, acceptance criteria, and a concrete next-scope recommendation make the result easier to share with management.
- What if the PoC proves the idea is weak?
- That is a useful outcome. A small PoC can prevent a larger project from being approved on weak assumptions.
