How long does an AI proof of concept take?
Most AI validation engagements are completed within 2–3 weeks, depending on the scope, data availability, and integration requirements.
What happens during the AI strategy session?
A senior engineering team reviews your use case, evaluates feasibility, identifies potential business outcomes, and outlines a practical validation roadmap.
Do I need a fully defined AI use case before engaging?
No. Many organizations know they want to leverage AI but are unsure where to start. The strategy session is designed to identify and prioritize high-impact opportunities.
What types of AI initiatives can Sigma validate?
Common engagements include AI copilots, intelligent document processing, workflow automation, enterprise search, predictive analytics, reporting intelligence, and AI-powered product features.
Who builds the proof of concept?
Senior engineers and AI specialists. The team involved in discovery remains involved throughout validation and delivery.
How do you measure success?
Before development begins, we establish success criteria tied to business outcomes such as operational efficiency, turnaround time, productivity, cost reduction, or decision-making speed.
What happens after the proof of concept is complete?
You receive a working AI solution, outcome measurements, technical recommendations, and a roadmap for production deployment if the results support further investment.
Will my data and intellectual property remain protected?
Yes. NDAs are executed before engagement, and your data, code, models, and intellectual property remain yours.
Can the proof of concept integrate with existing systems?
Yes. Sigma has experience integrating AI capabilities with ERP, CRM, ecommerce, fintech, analytics, and other enterprise platforms.
Why start with a proof of concept instead of a full implementation?
A proof of concept reduces investment risk by validating technical feasibility and business impact before committing to a larger implementation.
