PoC Free · An InnovBlaze initiative · Sheet 01 of 01

We build your proof of concept. Free.

No invoice. No retainer. No risk. We take your idea and turn it into a working proof in weeks — at zero cost. The only reward we ask for: if the proof convinces you, build the real project with us.

The model

Proof first. Payment only if it becomes real.

Most vendors ask you to commit budget before you've seen anything work. We flip that. You risk nothing but a conversation.

Step A

You bring the problem

A workflow that's painful, a product idea you can't validate, a "what if we automated this" — anything with a clear question behind it.

Step B

We build the proof

A scoped, working proof of concept — built in a fixed 2–3 week sprint with weekly demos so you see progress, not promises.

₹0
YOUR COST, ALWAYS

Step C

You decide — freely

If the proof convinces you, we build the real project together. If not, you walk away with the learnings and owe us nothing.

Why we work this way: we'd rather earn projects with evidence than win them with slide decks. A free PoC is our pitch — the working demo does the talking. Converting proofs into real projects is the only "award" we're after.
The process

A structured pipeline, not a favor

Every PoC initiative runs through the same five gates. That structure is what keeps a free engagement disciplined — for you and for us.

  1. Intake & fit check 2–3 days

    You submit the idea. We assess whether a PoC can genuinely answer the underlying question and whether it fits one of our initiative tracks. We say no early if it's not a fit — that's part of the deal.

  2. Scoping workshop 1 session

    Together we write a one-page scope: the single question the PoC must answer, the success criteria, the data or access we need, and what's explicitly out of scope.

  3. Build sprint 2–3 weeks

    A fixed, timeboxed sprint. You get a weekly demo and a shared progress board — no black box, no "trust us."

  4. Demo day 1 session

    We walk your team through the working proof against the success criteria we agreed on, plus an honest read on feasibility, effort, and risks of the real build.

  5. Your decision No pressure

    Convert it into a real project with us — with the PoC codebase handed over as the head start — or close it out. Either way, you keep the findings.

PoC initiatives

Five tracks we take proofs through

Organizing our PoCs into tracks keeps scoping fast and estimates honest. If your idea spans tracks, we'll pick the one that answers the riskiest question first.

Track T-01

AI & Automation

Prove that AI can actually handle your workflow before you bet on it.

  • Document / email processing
  • Chat assistants on your data
  • Workflow & back-office automation
Track T-02

Data & Dashboards

Turn scattered spreadsheets and systems into one live view of the business.

  • KPI & operations dashboards
  • Reporting automation
  • Forecasting prototypes
Track T-03

Web & Mobile Apps

A clickable, working slice of the product idea you keep debating internally.

  • Customer / partner portals
  • Internal tools
  • MVP feature slices
Track T-04

Integrations & APIs

Prove your systems can talk to each other before committing to a migration.

  • CRM / ERP connectors
  • Payment & third-party APIs
  • Data sync pipelines
Track T-05

Process Digitization

Replace a paper- or WhatsApp-driven process with a small digital workflow.

  • Approvals & forms
  • Field / operations capture
  • Tracking & notifications
Working standards

Free doesn't mean careless. These are the practices every PoC follows.

A proof of concept is only useful if you can trust how it was built. These standards are non-negotiable on every engagement — paid or not.

P-01 · Scope

One question per PoC

Every proof answers exactly one written question with agreed success criteria. No scope creep, no vague "let's see."

P-02 · Time

Hard timebox

2–3 weeks, fixed. If the answer can't be reached in that window, the honest finding is "not yet feasible" — and we say so.

P-03 · Transparency

Weekly demos, shared board

You see working software every week and can watch the task board anytime. Progress is shown, never claimed.

P-04 · Engineering

Production-grade habits

Version control, code review, and documented setup from day one — so a successful PoC is a head start, not a throwaway.

P-05 · Security

Your data, protected

NDA on request, least-privilege access, sandboxed or anonymized data wherever possible, and full credential handback at close.

P-06 · Honesty

Negative results count

If the proof shows the idea isn't viable, we tell you plainly — with reasons. A clear "no" saves you a far more expensive one later.

P-07 · Ownership

No lock-in

Convert with us and the PoC code, docs, and findings are yours. Decline, and you still keep the written findings. No hostage-taking.

P-08 · Respect

Minimal ask of your time

One scoping session, one weekly check-in, one demo day. We design the engagement so your team's calendar barely notices it.

Fit check

What makes a good PoC candidate

Because we invest our own time, we're selective. Here's the honest filter we apply at intake.

Great fits

  • A real business problem with a decision waiting on the answer
  • Success can be defined in one sentence
  • Provable in 2–3 weeks with a thin working slice
  • A sponsor on your side who'll attend the weekly demo
  • Genuine intent to build it for real if the proof lands

Not a fit

  • Full products disguised as "PoCs"
  • Free maintenance or fixes for existing systems
  • Ideas with no owner or no decision behind them
  • Work that needs data or access you can't provide
  • Comparison shopping with no intention to build
Intake open · Limited slots per month
