Our Two-Step Path to a High-Value Prototype

We've eliminated the ambiguity of traditional data science projects. Our clear, two-sprint process takes you from a raw idea to a functional, value-driven prototype with predictable costs and timelines.

  1. 1

    Discovery Sprint: De-Risk & Define

    A 2-week, fixed-fee deep dive to assess your data, validate technical feasibility, and define a precise scope. This is the mandatory first step to ensure your project is built on a solid foundation.

    Outcome: A detailed scope and fixed-price quote for your Prototype Sprint.

  2. 2

    Prototype Sprint: Build & Demonstrate Value

    A 4-6 week sprint to build the solution scoped in Discovery. We develop the models and deliver a tangible, interactive prototype that demonstrates tangible, measurable value—the core of our Data-to-Value promise.

    Outcome: A working prototype and Business Case Framework to secure stakeholder buy-in.

Our Philosophy: Clarity First, Then Code

Many of our most successful projects begin with a "box of wires"—valuable data that's tangled, undocumented, or spread across systems. Our philosophy is that this initial complexity isn't a blocker; it's a challenge that our structured process is specifically designed to solve.

The Purpose of the Discovery Sprint

The mandatory 2-week Discovery Sprint is our dedicated process for untangling that "box of wires." It's a shared, fixed-fee engagement to de-risk your investment where we dive deep into your data and assess what's truly feasible. This prevents costly surprises and ensures that when we build, we're building the right thing on a solid foundation. You get a clear plan and a fixed-price quote, eliminating budget uncertainty.

Finding Your Starting Point

Our services are designed to meet you where you are.

→ If you have a specific business problem to solve, a Data-to-Value Sprint is your direct path to a solution.

→ If you're still exploring what problems AI can solve for you, our AI Strategy & Roadmap is the ideal first step.

What You Get

Your Data-to-Value Deliverables

Our Data-to-Value Sprints produce clear, actionable deliverables at each stage of the engagement, ensuring you have the tools to make informed decisions.

Discovery Sprint Deliverables

  • Data Health Assessment: An interactive report on your data's quality, completeness, and readiness for ML.
  • Use-Case Feasibility Matrix: A prioritized list of potential solutions ranked by business impact and technical feasibility.
  • Prototype Scope & Quote: A detailed project plan, timeline, and fixed-price quote for the Prototype Sprint.

Prototype Sprint Deliverables

  • Working Prototype: A functional asset, such as an interactive dashboard, a deployed API endpoint, or a clickable web app.
  • Source Code & Documentation: The complete, well-documented codebase for the prototype, delivered to your repository.
  • Business Case Framework: A clear framework outlining the value, potential ROI, and strategic impact to help justify the project internally.

Sprints in Action

Building a Content Recommender for Proverse

Challenge: Proverse, a pre-market startup, needed to develop a recommender system to engage users but faced data quality issues and an undefined technical path.

Solution: We executed a Data-to-Value Sprint, starting with a Discovery phase to analyze their data and scope several potential solutions. In the Prototype phase, we developed advanced tagging algorithms and built a functional recommendation engine, delivering a solution fine-tuned to their specific needs.

Outcome: The sprints delivered a working prototype that validated the concept and a clear path to production, giving Proverse the confidence and the tool to enhance user engagement.

Are Data-to-Value Sprints Right for You?

This focused engagement is perfect for teams that need to test, validate, and demonstrate the value of a specific data-driven idea quickly.

Sprints Are Ideal If You:

  • Have a Specific Business Problem: You want to build a forecast, optimize pricing, or create a recommender system.
  • Need to Prove ROI Quickly: You need a tangible asset and a business case to unlock a larger budget or get a project greenlit.
  • Have Access to Data: Your data might be messy, but it exists in spreadsheets, databases, or documents and is ready for analysis.
  • Have a Committed Project Sponsor: You have a key stakeholder who can provide input and feedback throughout the sprint process.

Sprints Might Not Be the Best Fit If You:

  • Need a High-Level AI Strategy First: You're unsure where to start with AI or which problems to solve. Our AI Strategy & Roadmap is the right first step.
  • Are Looking for Ongoing Support: Sprints deliver a finished prototype. For long-term maintenance and development, our Engineering & MLOps Pods are the solution.
  • Have No Access to Data or Stakeholders: Our process is collaborative and requires data to analyze and business experts to guide us.
