Research and development
Short, structured research projects that answer one question: will this idea work well enough to be worth building properly?
Research and development, done properly
New technical ideas carry risk that a normal project plan hides. Can the algorithm run fast enough? Will the hardware integration hold up? Will users understand the interface? We run time-boxed research sprints that build the smallest thing capable of answering the question, measure it, and report back plainly. Sometimes the answer is no, and finding that out in four weeks is the point.
Research and development. Prototypes that prove whether an idea works before you fund the full build.
Who it suits, what you receive, how long it takes and how it is priced, before you commit to anything.
Who it is for
Product teams and founders facing a technical unknown before committing a full budget.
What you receive
A working prototype, test results against the agreed question, and a recommendation on what to do next.
Typical timeline
Two to six weeks per research sprint.
How it is priced
A fixed price per sprint, agreed in advance.
How the work runs
The same four stages apply to every engagement, so you always know what happens next.

Can the prototype become the real product?
Sometimes, but we say so honestly. Prototypes are built for speed; production code is built to last.
Who owns the results?
You do, including the code, data and findings.
Do you work under NDA?
Always, and before you share any details of the idea.
