Examples

We work with a proven process and the building blocks that actually move you forward.

HealthTech "There is demand for a wearable breath coach."
Starting point

An idea for a wearable breath coach. No concept, no product, no website, no idea whether anyone wants it and would pay for it. The alternative: develop for a year and hope it works.

Approach

From idea to market test: a clear product concept with use cases and target group, product design, smoke test of the key use cases. Initial prototype design to assess production costs and profitability.

Results

Demand validated, including insights into customer acquisition costs. Key messages and use cases identified, ad material ready to run. With these insights the product was adjusted and a prototype built, ready to go to market.

MediaTech "News, rethought: personalised news in audio format, on a new channel."
Starting point

An idea for a new news format: personalised, in audio, on a new channel. No prototype, no distribution channel, no evidence that users want to consume news this way.

Approach

A working prototype built on AI agents and AI automation: news is curated, personalised and produced as audio automatically. Plus a new distribution channel, delivered straight into WhatsApp instead of a dedicated app. Landing page with waitlist, ad variants for both channels, five days runtime, comparison of sign-up rates.

Results

The content landed, almost all sign-ups came via WhatsApp. Result: go, WhatsApp-first. No investment in a dedicated app was needed, the budget went straight into the validated channel. The test numbers delivered the first proof of traction for partner conversations.

E-Commerce "There is a market for personalised print gifts, ordered online and produced on demand."
Starting point

A product idea for personalised print media in the gifting segment. Unclear whether production can be fully automated, which target group buys, at what price, and whether social ads scale as a channel.

Approach

A fully automated digital prototype: AI for the personalisation, connected directly to a print-on-demand partner. The physical product is the centrepiece, not the AI. Plus landing pages with real ordering, three to four ad messages per product aimed at different target groups, evaluation by cart and orders.

Results

Proof of concept successful: the flow from order to printed product runs automatically. Demand validated, with paid orders during the test. Result: change. The buying logic was adjusted to make the business profitable, ad budget taken straight from the test numbers.
