THE AI PROOF-OF-CONCEPT STUDIONEW ZEALAND · FOUR WEEKS TO FIND OUT

YOUR BUSINESS PROBLEM. A FOUR-WEEK AI POC.

Can AI
solve this?
Let’s test it.

Bring us your business problem. We’ll identify a practical AI approach, then build and test a focused proof of concept in four weeks. You get evidence to decide what comes next.

A working AI prototype. Real tests. A clear next decision.

Which tool? Which approach?
Will it actually solve our problem?

One AI experiment.
Two ways forward.

You don’t need to arrive with an AI solution. Start with the work you want to improve. We help identify a suitable approach and a practical way to test it.

01

Forward through building.

An existing AI tool, an agent or a custom solution? We assess the options against your problem, then connect the chosen approach with your data and workflow to build a focused AI prototype.

THE OUTCOME / AI YOU CAN ACTUALLY TRY
02

Forward through learning.

Does it give useful answers? Where does it fail? Is the improvement worth the cost? We test against agreed criteria so you can continue, change direction or stop with evidence.

THE OUTCOME / A BETTER AI INVESTMENT DECISION

You bring the business problem. We help find out whether AI has a useful part to play.

DEFINED SCOPE. CLEAR FINISH.

Four weeks.
AI put to the test.

First, we analyse your problem, propose the AI approach and agree the scope, project fee and success criteria. Then the four-week build and test begins.

WEEK 01 / CONNECT

Connect AI to
your working world.

We confirm the agreed data and access, connect the selected AI tools and establish representative test examples. The focus is your actual workflow and the question we need to answer.

YOU SEE

The AI experiment plan, test examples and first connected components.

A big ambition can start with a small experiment. We accept projects when a useful, specific question can be tested within four weeks.

ILLUSTRATIVE AI POCS

Real work.
Could AI help?

Start with a problem your team recognises. We test a focused AI approach using agreed data, realistic examples and clear measures of success.

01Could our knowledge answer back?

Build a research assistant over an agreed set of documents. Test whether it can find relevant evidence, cite its sources and identify what’s missing.

THE QUESTION TO TEST

Can people get useful, traceable answers from the information they already have?

02Could the first draft do more of the work?

Turn approved source material into a first draft of a proposal or response. Keep references attached, flag missing information and put a person in charge of the final answer.

THE QUESTION TO TEST

Can AI produce a useful draft that saves effort without hiding unsupported claims?

03Could this process stop being a chore?

Build a small workflow that reads an incoming request, suggests a category and prepares the next action. Test accuracy, exceptions and where human approval belongs.

THE QUESTION TO TEST

Can we remove repetitive work while keeping the right people in control?

04 / YOUR NEXT MOVE IS YOURS

Made to
move with you.

You should be able to take the experiment forward with your team, another partner or us under a separate implementation project.

Our delivery commitment
01

The prototype.

The scoped working experiment, with an honest view of its limits.

02

The evidence.

What we tested, what worked, what didn’t and what remains uncertain.

03

The handover.

Project code and configuration, setup notes and a walkthrough of the work delivered.

04

The next decision.

A practical view of the gaps, risks and work needed for a production implementation.

05 / WE COMMIT TO THE EXPERIMENT

Agreed scope.
Four weeks.
Our responsibility.

If we fail to deliver the agreed POC within the four-week commitment, you don’t pay.

We agree the deliverables, required access, customer inputs and delivery dates before accepting the project. Testing an idea and finding it doesn’t work can still be a successfully delivered experiment.

How the commitment works

06 / A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS

Before we
press go.

Do we need to choose an AI tool first?

No. Bring the problem, the outcome you want and any tools you have already tried or considered. We assess suitable AI options during initial scoping and propose an approach to test. We can also test a tool you already use. If a simpler approach makes more sense, we’ll say so.

Can any idea be tested in four weeks?

Not every full use case fits. During initial scoping, we identify a specific question and agree a meaningful experiment that fits four weeks. We only commit once the scope and dependencies are clear.

What if the idea doesn’t work?

You still receive the experiment, findings and a clear explanation of the limitations we found. A negative feasibility result can be valuable. It is different from us failing to deliver the agreed work.

Is the POC ready for production?

A POC tests a defined question within a limited scope. Security hardening, scale, operational support and broader integrations may need additional work. We identify those gaps in the handover.

What do you need from our team?

A person who understands the problem, access to the agreed information or systems, and timely feedback at the planned checkpoints. We agree these inputs and the handling of sensitive data before the project starts.

How much does it cost?

We agree the project fee after initial scoping, before you commit. The proposed scope makes clear what is included, the delivery conditions and what would require a separate project.

Why the name TwiceForward?

Every POC creates progress through building and progress through learning. The name is inspired by Geoffrey Hinton’s Forward-Forward algorithm. Our brand uses that idea as a metaphor for useful experiments and better decisions.

WONDERING IF AI CAN SOLVE IT?

Got a
what if?

Bring the problem. No AI expertise needed.
We’ll help find the approach worth testing.

BUILD. LEARN. MOVE FORWARD.
