Claude Services / Prototype & POC
Prove it works on your data, in your environment.
A contracted prototype or proof of concept built against one defined use case — working software in your own environment, measured against success criteria you set up front.
Engagement
Scoped to a fixed fee
Fixed scope
Typical timeframe
2–5 weeks
Who it's for · Teams who need evidence before committing to a full build, or a working artefact to put in front of a steering group.
The engagement
- 01
Scoping session to fix the use case, the data, and the success criteria
- 02
Build sprints in your environment with a mid-point review
- 03
Evaluation against the criteria, with the results written down as found
- 04
Readout, handover of everything built, and a costed production path
What you walk away with
A working prototype, an honest evaluation against your criteria, and a costed path to production.
What we deliver.
- Use-case definition and written success criteria agreed before any build starts
- A working prototype in your environment — not a scripted demo
- Prompt, context, and tool design for the use case, including the evaluation harness
- Connections to the real systems and data the use case needs, at prototype grade
- Evaluation results against the agreed criteria, including where it falls short
- A production path: what would have to change to make it real, and what that takes
In practice
Proving a document-heavy review process can be handled reliably before rebuilding it
Testing whether an agent can work safely against a production system
Giving a steering group something working to look at instead of slides
Before you start.
What you'll need
- One clearly defined use case (we'll help fix the edges)
- A Claude environment we can build in, or the ability to stand one up
- Access to representative data and a named business owner
Not included
- Production hardening, SLAs, or scale (the prototype is built to prove a concept)
- Full change management and rollout (that's Rollout & Activation)
- Open-ended iteration once the agreed criteria have been evaluated
The prototype is yours to keep and becomes the foundation of the full build — no repeated discovery.
An Anthropic partner with Claude-certified architects — the people who scope your programme are the people who build it.
50+ specialists across strategy, implementation, automation, data, and custom development, so a Claude programme lands in your real systems.
Every engagement leaves your team trained and documented — you own the outcome after we go.
Questions, answered.
Yes. It's built in your environment, it's yours to keep, and it carries into the full build rather than being thrown away.
You get that finding in writing, with the reason and what would have to be true for it to work. A negative result delivered in three weeks is worth considerably more than an optimistic one delivered in nine months.
Anthropic seats and API consumption are billed to you on your own account, so the environment and the data stay yours. We help you land on the right plan and model mix as part of the engagement.
No. We work with a nominated champion on your side and hand over documentation, prompts, configuration, and training, so your team can run and extend it without us.
