We have an idea, and need to prove it works

Explore, prototype and test a new idea quickly, then build the case to turn the best ones into reality.

01 What is usually going on

The cheapest time to find out an idea will not work is before you build it. A working prototype in front of real users answers questions that months of documents cannot.

Signs you might recognise

  • Stakeholders who cannot picture what is being proposed
  • Requirements written long before anyone has tried anything
  • Big rollouts planned without a trial
  • Good ideas that never get past the slide deck

02How we would approach it

Three steps, at your pace

  1. Explore the idea

    We test the idea against the problem it solves and the people who will use it, and turn your goals into clear requirements.

  2. Prototype it

    We build something people can actually try, quickly and with minimal infrastructure, so stakeholders can see the value for themselves.

  3. Make it real

    We build the business case and the plan to take the best ideas from prototype to rollout.

What you can expect

  • Shared understanding of what you are building, and why
  • Risks found early, when they are cheap to fix
  • A clear path from prototype to rollout

03Where we have done it

A working prototype that helped new legislation pass

Our team rapidly developed a user interface with sample data for senior stakeholder demonstrations of new capabilities to support the introduction of new legislation.

The ability to show in real terms what the legislation would provide to end users helped create a shared understanding of the value it would create, ultimately leading to the beneficial legislation being introduced.
