AI Proof of Concept: Validate AI Value in Days, Not Months
Rapid AI validation with the proven SYRV Velocity Framework
Prove AI delivers measurable value in days. Reduce risk, accelerate decision-making, and move from exploration to investment-ready roadmap with a functional prototype.
What is an AI Proof of Concept?
An AI proof of concept is a rapid, focused project that validates whether AI can solve your specific business problem before investing in full production development. Our rapid POC gives you:
- Functional, working code you can evaluate
- Real performance data on your actual data
- Clear go/no-go recommendation
- Production roadmap if you decide to proceed
This is fundamentally different from traditional consulting, which spends 6-12 months planning before showing you any code. We show you a working prototype in days.
Why Proof of Concept First?
Validate AI feasibility before committing to major investment
Reduce Risk Before Major Investment
Validate AI's fit for your specific problem before committing to major investment. Many of our best insights are negative results that prevent expensive mistakes.
Prove Value with Real Data
Test AI on your actual data, not theoretical scenarios. Get quantitative performance metrics and ROI analysis based on real-world conditions.
Build Business Case Faster
Demonstrate AI's business impact to stakeholders and board members with a working prototype in days. No more theoretical discussions.
Test Technical Feasibility
Validate that AI can solve your problem with available data and technology. Identify technical risks early before they become expensive production issues.
Validate User Adoption
Test AI workflows with real users in days. Identify usability issues and workflow changes before full development.
Accelerate Decision-Making
Move from uncertainty to confident investment decision in days. Get working code and production roadmap, not 6 months of planning.

AI Proof of Concept in Action
Healthcare System Validates AI-Powered Diagnostic Assistant in Days
Organization
Large Healthcare Network
The Challenge
Considering $2M investment in AI-powered diagnostic assistance tool but uncertain about technical feasibility, integration complexity, and clinical workflow impact.
Our Rapid Approach
Rapid POC validating AI accuracy on real patient data (anonymized), integration with existing EHR systems, and operational workflows within HIPAA compliance boundaries.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an AI proof of concept?
An AI proof of concept (POC) is a small-scale, functional demonstration that validates whether an AI solution is technically feasible, delivers business value, and solves the intended problem before investing in full production development. SyrvAI delivers AI POCs in days using the proven SYRV Velocity Framework.
How is a rapid POC different from traditional AI consulting?
Traditional AI consulting takes 6-12 months before you see working code. SyrvAI's rapid POC delivers a functional prototype in weeks, validating feasibility and ROI before major investment. You receive source code, production roadmap, and realistic budget estimates in days, not months.
What industries benefit from AI POC services?
Healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, retail, government, and any data-intensive industry seeking strategic AI validation. Our Fortune 50 deployment experience ensures compliance-ready prototypes for regulated sectors like HIPAA healthcare and FedRAMP government.
Can the POC scale to production?
Yes, absolutely. Unlike throwaway demos, SyrvAI prototypes are architected for production from day one with scalable infrastructure, security best practices, and integration patterns. Your POC becomes the foundation for full production deployment.
What deliverables do I receive in just days?
You receive: (1) Working prototype with full source code, (2) Technical documentation, (3) Production roadmap with realistic timeline and budget, (4) Risk assessment, (5) ROI analysis, and (6) Complete intellectual property rights with no vendor lock-in.
How much does an AI POC cost?
AI POC pricing typically ranges from $15K-$35K based on scope and complexity, compared to $500K+ for traditional 6-12 month consulting engagements. This represents a 10-20x cost advantage while delivering results 18-36x faster. Contact us for a detailed quote based on your specific requirements.
Do I need data prepared in advance?
Ideally yes, but not required. We assess data readiness during Days 1-2 discovery. If data needs preparation, we provide a data collection roadmap and can defer POC start until data is available. Most successful POCs have at least sample data available upfront.
What happens if the POC reveals the idea isn't viable?
That's a successful outcome! The purpose of a POC is to validate feasibility before major investment. If we discover technical or business blockers, you've saved 6-12 months and $500K+ by learning this in days. We provide alternative approaches or pivot recommendations.
Can you integrate with our existing systems?
Yes, we design for production integration from day one. POCs include integration architecture that scales, connecting to your CRM, ERP, databases, or APIs. Our Fortune 50 experience ensures enterprise-grade integration patterns.
How quickly can we start a POC sprint?
Typically 1-2 weeks from initial scoping session. We schedule based on availability and your readiness with data and stakeholder alignment. Contact us to reserve your sprint slot.
