Context Studios, an AI-native development studio in Berlin, builds a focused, demo-ready prototype, measures the results and gives you a well-founded go/no-go recommendation. Goal: results in about 2–4 weeks. An AI proof of concept (PoC) is a focused, working prototype that tests the central hypothesis of an AI initiative with real data. Unlike a feasibility study, it answers a single question – can AI solve exactly this problem well enough? – and delivers measurable metrics for deciding on the next phase. Entity: AI PoC Development Duration: Typically 2–4 weeks Deliverable: Working prototype + performance report Data: Real customer data or representative samples Goal: Technical feasibility + ROI validation Next step: MVP development (on go) or pivot (on no-go) ## What must a good PoC deliver? Six quality criteria for meaningful proofs of concept ### Real data, not toy data A PoC with dummy data proves nothing. We work with your real data — only then does it become clear whether data quality and structure are good enough for AI. ### Measurable performance metrics Not 'looks good', but quantified results — accuracy, processing time, automation rate, error rate. These figures are the basis for your go/no-go decision. ### Demo-ready prototype No Jupyter notebook that only developers understand. Our PoC has a simple but functional interface that you can demonstrate live to stakeholders, investors or your management. ### ROI forecast based on data Based on the PoC results, we calculate the expected ROI. You get concrete figures instead of gut feeling — how much time and cost the AI saves. ### Architecture built to scale PoC code is not throwaway code. We set up the architecture so that the prototype can move straight into MVP development — without starting over. ### Documented results report You receive a complete report: technical assessment, performance metrics, identified risks, ROI forecast and a concrete recommendation with a roadmap and budget for the next phase. ## How does PoC development work? ### Kick-off and hypothesis After a free 30-minute initial call, we define the central hypothesis in a short workshop: what exactly should the AI be able to do? Which data is available? Which metrics measure success? ### Data analysis and model selection We analyse your data for quality and suitability, compare several candidate models and choose the right approach: API-based (Claude, GPT), a RAG architecture or fine-tuning. ### Prototype development Building the working prototype: AI backend, data connection and a simple frontend. Regular progress updates give you the chance to give feedback early and correct course. ### Evaluation and results presentation Systematic performance evaluation, preparation of the results report and a live presentation to your team. Including a go/no-go recommendation and a roadmap for the next steps. ## Frequently asked questions about PoC development Q: What is the difference between a PoC and an MVP? A: A PoC tests whether an AI solution works technically and delivers the expected benefit – with a lean prototype and real data. An MVP, by contrast, is a production-ready product that real users work with every day. The PoC is therefore the first step: its results provide the basis for the go/no-go decision and for a reliable MVP plan. Q: What does an AI PoC cost? A: Compared with an MVP budget, a proof of concept is an inexpensive safeguard against bad investments. Costs depend on the question, the data situation and the integrations required; ongoing API costs depend on the model and volume. Fixed price after scoping, proposal within 48 hours. If you want to sharpen the idea first, start with a fixed-price workshop such as the Light Discovery for €1,500. Q: Do I need my own data for the PoC? A: Ideally yes – only real data makes a PoC meaningful, because that is the only way to see whether quality, volume and structure are sufficient for AI. If data access is not yet possible, we work with anonymised extracts, synthetic or publicly available data. The results are then less conclusive, and we point this out clearly in the results report. Q: Can I reuse the PoC code? A: Yes. We design the PoC so that it can move straight into the MVP phase: a clear API structure, modular design, versioned code and documented prompts. A PoC deliberately stays lean – topics such as scaling, permission management or monitoring are added in the MVP. You receive the exclusive rights of use to the code in accordance with section 5 of our terms. Q: What happens if the PoC turns out negative? A: A negative result is valuable too, because it prevents an expensive bad investment. We analyse the reasons – such as data quality, the scope of the task or model limitations – and show alternatives: different data, a narrower use case, another technical approach or deliberately no AI project at all. You receive this assessment in writing so you can make a well-founded internal decision. Q: How do I convince my management with the PoC? A: The PoC delivers exactly what decision-makers want to see: a running prototype for a live demo, measurable metrics such as accuracy or automation rate, a data-based ROI estimate and a concrete roadmap with the effort for the next phase. This lets you replace gut feeling with evidence and makes the investment decision easy to follow. Q: Can a PoC be carried out remotely? A: Yes, most PoCs run completely remotely. The kick-off takes place via video, we share progress regularly via Slack or email, and the results presentation happens via screen sharing. For sensitive data, we set up access within your environment or work with anonymised extracts, so your data never has to leave your company. Q: How quickly can the PoC start? A: If data is available and the task is clear, we can usually start at short notice, often just a few working days after the order. The most common delay occurs when data access is only clarified after the kick-off. That is why we agree on data sources, contacts and access rights already in the 30-minute initial call and during scoping. ## Prove your AI idea with real data Start your proof of concept at a clear fixed price and get reliable answers instead of assumptions.
