POC & Prototyping

Validate Before You Build with Rapid Prototyping

We turn your riskiest assumptions into working prototypes in 2–4 weeks β€” so you invest in ideas that have been validated, not just discussed.

What We Offer

From Concept to Working Demo in Weeks, Not Months

We prototype with production-quality thinking β€” so when you say "go," the code doesn't have to be thrown away.

01
πŸ§ͺ

Technical Proof of Concept

We build working POCs that prove technical feasibility β€” API integrations, algorithm performance, data pipeline throughput β€” with real data and measurable results.

02
🎨

Interactive Prototypes

Clickable, functional prototypes with real user flows β€” not static mockups. We use Next.js, React Native, or Flutter to build prototypes that feel like the real product.

03
πŸ€–

AI/ML Model Validation

Rapid prototyping of machine learning models β€” data preprocessing, model training, accuracy benchmarking, and demo interfaces to validate AI-driven feature ideas.

04
πŸ“Š

Data Pipeline Prototypes

End-to-end data flow prototypes proving that your data sources can feed the analytics, ML models, or reports your product depends on.

05
πŸ”—

Integration Feasibility

Third-party API integration prototypes β€” proving that partner systems, banking APIs, payment gateways, or data providers work the way your product needs them to.

06
πŸ“±

Mobile & Cross-Platform POCs

Rapid prototypes for mobile apps, embedded systems, or cross-platform solutions β€” demonstrating feasibility across devices and operating systems.

Got an Idea? Let's Prove It Works.

Book a free prototype scoping session β€” we'll tell you what's feasible and how fast.

πŸ§ͺ Validation Results

Stop debating feasibility. Start proving it.

The average failed product wastes 9 months and $500K on untested assumptions. Our prototypes give you real answers in weeks.

About This Service

Prototyping That's Actually Useful

Our prototypes aren't throwaway demos. They're built with production-aware thinking β€” clean code, real integrations, and documentation β€” so the path from POC to product is smooth.

βœ“
Production-Aware Code
We write prototype code that can evolve into production code β€” proper structure, error handling, and separation of concerns from day one.
βœ“
Real Data, Not Mocked Data
Wherever possible, we prototype with real APIs, real datasets, and real integrations β€” because mock data hides the problems that matter.
βœ“
Clear Go/No-Go Criteria
Every prototype has predefined success criteria. At the end, you have a clear, evidence-based decision β€” not just a cool demo.
Why OpenMalo

Why Teams Choose Us for Prototyping

We build prototypes that answer real questions β€” not demos that impress but teach you nothing.

⚑
Genuinely Fast Delivery
Our prototyping sprints run 2–4 weeks. We use pre-built component libraries, cloud starter templates, and established patterns to move fast without cutting corners.
🏦
FinTech Domain Knowledge
We've prototyped payment flows, lending algorithms, KYC integrations, and fraud detection models β€” we understand the regulatory constraints upfront.
πŸ§ͺ
72% Production Conversion Rate
Most prototypes get thrown away. Ours don't β€” because we build with production evolution in mind from the start.
πŸ“Š
Evidence-Based Validation
Every prototype includes performance benchmarks, feasibility data, and clear go/no-go recommendations. You get answers, not just a demo.
πŸ€–
AI/ML Prototyping Capability
In-house data scientists and ML engineers who can prototype and validate AI models rapidly β€” from NLP to computer vision to recommendation engines.
πŸ”„
Seamless Transition to Build
When a prototype validates, we transition directly into full product development β€” same team, same codebase, no restart.

How We Work

Our Engagement Process

πŸ’‘
1

Idea Clarification

We refine your hypothesis, define success criteria, and scope the minimum viable prototype to answer your key questions.

πŸ“
2

Architecture Spike

Quick technical investigation of the riskiest assumptions β€” API availability, data quality, algorithm feasibility.

πŸ› οΈ
3

Rapid Build Sprint

2–4 week time-boxed build with daily check-ins and mid-sprint demos. Working prototype, not wireframes.

πŸ“Š
4

Validation & Benchmarking

Performance testing, user testing (if applicable), and comprehensive feasibility report with data.

βœ…
5

Go/No-Go Decision

Presentation of findings, recommendations, and production evolution plan if the prototype validates.

Client Stories

What Our Clients Say

β€œWe had debated building a real-time fraud detection feature for six months. OpenMalo prototyped it in three weeks using our actual transaction data. The results were so strong we greenlit full development the same day.

LO
Lisa Okonkwo
Head of Product, PaySense

β€œOpenMalo built us an integration prototype with three different banking APIs in under two weeks. It saved us from choosing the wrong payment provider β€” one of them had latency issues that only showed up under real conditions.

HJ
Henrik Johansson
CTO, TradeFin

β€œTheir AI prototype for our claims triage system proved the concept could achieve 89% accuracy with our existing data. That prototype became the foundation of a product feature now used by 40,000 adjusters daily.

AI Claims Triage Prototype for InsurTech Labs

How a 3-week AI prototype validated a claims triage concept with 89% accuracy β€” leading to full production deployment now serving 40,000 insurance adjusters.

The Challenge

An AI idea with promising potential but no validation

InsurTech Labs believed ML could automate initial claims triage, but had no evidence the concept would work with their data quality, claim complexity, or accuracy requirements.

Unstructured claims data across 5 different legacy systems
No existing labeled dataset for model training
Minimum 85% accuracy threshold required by compliance
Skeptical stakeholders who'd seen AI demos fail before

Our Approach: Week 1: Data extraction and labeling sprint across all 5 source systems. Week 2: Model training with three different approaches (rule-based, gradient boosting, fine-tuned LLM). Week 3: Accuracy benchmarking, demo interface, and stakeholder presentation with live data.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

A POC (proof of concept) validates technical feasibility β€” can this algorithm achieve target accuracy? Can this API handle our throughput? A prototype validates the user experience and business workflow β€” does this product concept actually solve the problem? We build both.
