Share an Idea: We build a Complimentary Prototype for an initial Use-Case
N-iX funds the build, and you get a working prototype and clear options on whether to pause, pivot, or continue.
Our 3 Stage Process
Share an idea. We build it into a working prototype you can put in front of your stakeholders.
Share the Idea
Describe the Idea
- Standard NDA is available
- Populate a 2-Page questionnaire
- Schedule the Intro Session
Intro Brainstorming Session
- Discuss the Persona & Context
- Discuss the Problem to Solve
- Align on High-Level Requirements
- Collaborate on Design Ideas & Flows
Confirm the Scope
- Estimate the Effort
- Confirm the Scope
- Free for 1 Use Case, 1 Persona, 1 Workflow
Prototype the Idea
Prepare the Prototype
- Set up the Project Scaffolding
- Prepare the Requirements
- Develop the Starter Prototype
Interactive Prototyping Session
- Review the Requirements
- Review the Starter Prototype
- Interactive Discussion
- Decide Takeaway Action Items
Adapt the Prototype for Feedback
- We listen to your feedback
- We refine the prototype
- We analyze potential future improvements
Validate the Idea
Deliver
- Design Document Handover
- Source Code Handover (Github)
- Publish to a URL for User Feedback
Demo & Proposal Session
- Final Demo
- Present Strategic Options
- Present a Recommendation for Next Steps
- N-iX Commercial Proposal (No Obligation)
Validate your Prototype & Decide
- Validate the Problem-Solution fit
- Provide User Experience Feedback
- Evaluate the Business Value Creation & ROI
- Choose to Pause, Pivot, or Continue with an Investment

N-iX funds your first use case in full. There is no obligation to continue beyond it. Cloud Partner Funding is potentially possible on a larger POC iteration of work.
Start with Focus on 1 Use-Case
Start with 1 Use Case, 1 User Persona, 1 Workflow to validate.
Then explore options for iteratively improving and scaling your application.
Validate the Use-Case and Decide Your Path
Continue
Ready to build. Choose your path:
- Formal Roadmap: Discovery & Detailed Plan
- Agile Roadmap: Continuous Discovery & Iteration
Pivot
Explore an alternative strategy or design based on learnings.
Pause
Prototypes help us learn and validate fast. Don't over-invest prematurely without clarity on the Customer/Business Need, Business Viability, and Technical Feasibility.
Pragmatically Iterate
from Prototype to Product
We can advise on multiple strategies to evolve the solution. We avoid over-engineering or over-investing prematurely with our Lean, Evolutionary approaches.
Technical Maturity
- Quality & Usability
- Scaling of Architecture
- Reliability
- Security
- DevOps Maturity
- Infra / AI Cost Optimization
- Observability
- Governance & Compliance
Functionality Breadth
- Business/Customer Features
- Product Platform Tools
- Integrations
- Data Topics/Sources
Use Case Variations
- Use Cases by Segment (Industry, Persona)
- Decentralized Business Rules (Site/Dept)
- Regional Localization (i.e. Lang, Currency)
- Product Customization Tools
- Custom Specific Workflows, Fields, Navigation
- Custom UI Forms
- Custom UI Reports & Visualizations
- Custom File & Integration Formats
- Custom UI Theming or Branding
Why This Approach Works
Start with 1 Use Case, 1 User Persona, 1 Workflow to validate.
Then explore options for iteratively improving and scaling your application.
Validate Fast
See your idea in action within days, not months. Test assumptions early and adjust before major investment.
Clear Direction
You'll understand what's feasible, what's valuable, and what your next steps should be — with a concrete prototype to show stakeholders.
Flexible Paths Forward
The handover includes options: refine the prototype with us, take it to another team, or continue building independently.
Who Is This For?
The prototyping workshop is designed for organizations ready to validate ideas before investing in its development.
A greenfield product (e.g. web/mobile app, marketplace, or Agentic AI solution)
A customer-facing Digital/AI experience (e.g. customer portal, marketplace, self-service tool, or support tool)
A meaningful growth or efficiency opportunity within your business that could be improved or automated
An existing solution is possible to improve with a new app, module, portal, or Agentic AI solution (copilot / automation / workflow)
You have a concrete value-proposition or value-creation hypothesis
A Prototype is more revealing than Slides
Create a shared reference for alignment and evaluation of the idea
De-risk with feedback from stakeholders, customers, or subject matter experts.
- Desirability: User demand & adoption
- Feasibility: Tech capability, timeline, risks
- Viability: Business model, pricing, budget
1 use-case, 1 user persona, 1 workflow to begin the journey.
Your full Product/Solution concept would require a minimum of 3 months development to be productionized.
Your organization would have the budget means to progress an idea after its validation.
You might be an executive leader, business team leader, or product/engineering leader. You or your Leadership have interest (not commitment) to start a potential development within 1 year.
Why Build with N-iX?
Our Structured Method on Requirements & Design
In contrast to amateur vibe-coding, we bring Product Managers and Engineers who work with a structured approach. We bring design systems, agentic skills, and lightweight spec-driven development methods to turn requirements into a solid initial design. Our prototypes are then easier to evolve since we take this systematic approach to capture the decision history, identify risks/assumptions, and document the enablers/dependencies necessary to forge ahead. We progressively build and execute on a plan.
Our LITE Approach to Prototyping
We stay lean, iterate, and validate with feedback on tangible prototypes. We evolve the architecture at the right time to avoid premature over-investment.
Lean - We collaborate with you to build the smallest version necessary to bring your idea to life, with no early investment in scale or generalization.
Iterative - We help you prioritize requirements into an iterative plan and validate with short feedback loops. Make small bets and minimize risk.
Tangible - We don't just screen-share the prototypes. We make it tangible by granting secure access for you and your stakeholders to react to.
Evolutionary - Architectural complexity is added at the right time in an evolutionary manner, not prematurely. We avoid over-sized initiatives.
