Validate before you industrialize.
2 to 6 weeks to test an architecture, an AI use case, a UX journey or a technical integration. Controlled budget, informed decision at the end.
Who it's for
When to launch a POC.
01
Validate a technical choice
Medusa or Shopify? Strapi or Sanity? We test in your real context before committing to a long project.
02
Test an AI use case
RAG, conversational agent, classification: feasibility and ROI measured before industrialization.
03
Prototype a journey
Operational UX and front end on a critical journey. User feedback before go/no-go.
What we build
Smotly POC deliverables.
Timing & scoping
- 1-hour kickoff to freeze the scope
- 2 to 6 weeks of execution
- 1 mid-point review
- Readout + decision at the end
Code & demo
- Functional code, testable on staging
- Live demo with your teams
- Performance benchmarks
- Coverage of identified edge cases
Recommendation
- Reasoned go / no-go
- Industrialization estimate
- Identified risks + mitigations
- 30/60/90-day plan if go
A method, a verdict
6 weeks to know if it works.
No playable demo for a meeting. A real POC that tackles real risks, with quantified Go/No-go criteria from kickoff. You decide based on facts.

Kickoff · hypotheses scoped
W2
Architecture + stack locked
W3
Critical integration validated
W4

W6
Readout + Go/No-go
Go / No-go criteria
Time-boxed
2 to 6 weeks, locked scope, defined deliverables. No drift, no scope creep.
Explicit Go / No-go criteria
From week 1, you know what triggers a Go toward industrialization or a pivot.
Reusable code
The POC is built on your target stack. If it is a Go, we restart from code, not from scratch.
Derisk, not just prove
Critical integration, load, security: we attack the scary point, not the easy demo.
A POC that costs X avoids a project that costs 10X.
