Proof of concept
Also known as: POC, pilot
What is proof of concept?
A proof of concept is a time-boxed build that tests whether an AI approach can meet a defined success threshold on real data, before committing to production investment.
A POC without a pre-agreed pass/fail number is theatre. Define the metric, the threshold and the decision that follows either result before starting.
