What it is
  • A time-box with a written hypothesis and a success metric
  • Working software on your real data, not a slide
  • Tested with real users, internal or customers
  • A decision memo your board can act on

Sprint formats

Choose the sprint that fits

All sprints run in your infrastructure on open-source tooling. You own what gets built.

2 – 3 weeks

PoC Sprint

One idea, one owner

You leave with

Technical and business feasibility proven on real data. A one-page go / pivot / stop memo.

Ask about this
4 – 6 weeks

MVP Sprint

A validated idea ready for users

You leave with

A live minimum product in front of real users, with usage data and a plan to scale.

Ask about this
6 – 8 weeks

Parallel Portfolio

Three bets, one shared backlog

You leave with

Three PoCs in parallel with shared components.

How a sprint runs

Frame → Build → Test → Decide

Four moves, each one leaving something running in your business. No phase ends in a presentation.

  1. 01

    Frame

    Week 0. Hypothesis, success metric, data access and the kill criteria: written down and signed.

  2. 02

    Build

    Working software on real data within the first week. Agents clear the boilerplate; humans own the design.

  3. 03

    Test

    Real users, real workflow, measured against the metric agreed in week 0.

  4. 04

    Decide

    Go, pivot or stop: a one-page memo with evidence, cost to scale and the next sprint if it's a go.

Outcome

You leave with this

Every sprint is scoped backwards from these. If one isn't on the list, it isn't in the price, and we'll say so.

  • 01 A working prototype in your infrastructure
  • 02 A measured result against the agreed metric
  • 03 A go / pivot / stop decision memo
  • 04 A scale plan and cost estimate if it's a go
  • 05 A team that watched it get built
  • 06 Reusable components for the next sprint

“A process that seemed complex had a simple logic. It just needed to be built.”

Sprints: questions

What people ask about sprints

Short answers to the questions that come up in the first conversation about this offering.

01 What if the PoC fails?

Then you've bought a cheap, fast “no” with evidence, which is the point. Sprints that end in stop or pivot are often the ones that save the most money.

02 Do we need our own developers?

No. You need a product owner with decision rights and access to data. We bring the builders and the agents.

03 Who owns the prototype?

You do, from day one. It runs in your infrastructure on open-source tooling.

Get started

Bring the idea you keep postponing

Thirty minutes to frame the hypothesis, the metric and the data, and to tell you honestly whether a sprint is the right move.
