When it is relevant
A product or use case has been prioritised and you need stronger evidence of user value, technical viability and business value before committing to scale. Or you already have a prototype or working concept and need to determine what it will take to make it suitable for real users and real operating conditions.
When this is not the right engagement
The page must not imply that Windmill needs to rebuild or restart work produced elsewhere.
Experience, intelligence and control
- Experience
- Test the workflow with the people who will use, supervise or operate it.
- Intelligence
- Prove the important model, agent or system behaviour using representative conditions and data.
- Control
- Establish how quality will be evaluated and where human review, failure handling or escalation is required.
What the client receives
- Working product or workflow slice
- User or operator evidence
- Technical feasibility and architecture decisions
- Representative evaluation baseline
- Known failure conditions and constraints
- Value case and recommendation for the next stage
How this engagement continues
Shape: Fixed or milestone-staged engagement
Duration: Typically 1.5-2 months
The next stage proceeds only where the evidence supports it. That may mean further iteration, Product Build & Scale, an internal client build, or stopping. Stopping is a valid outcome where the evidence does not support additional investment.
