Turn Your Idea Into a Working Proof-of-Concept in Weeks

Validate the feasibility of your AI workflows and intelligent agents with a secure, functional prototype before committing full-scale development.

Validated with teams at

Ground your vision in technical reality, before you fund it

A demo runs on clean data. Production doesn’t. Our validation sprint tests AI against real data, transaction volumes and operational constraints, surfacing bottlenecks before you fund the build. You leave with a functional prototype, ROI, dependencies, and a deployment path.

A functional AI Proof-of-Concept built around your actual data and workflows, so your team can interact with it, test real use cases, and see how the solution performs outside a controlled demo environment.

Token-billed APIs give you a clean per-task cost number. Self-hosted models don't, there's no per-token bill, so the cost per task comes from amortized GPU-hours over the throughput you actually get. We build the right calculation for your deployment path. For high-concurrency use cases, we also measure p95 latency and concurrent session capacity, since that's usually the real limit. An assessment of whether your data, systems, and infrastructure can actually support each priority use case before development begins.

A practical assessment of how the solution handles your data and where production risks may exist. We map data flows, access controls, isolation, encryption, guardrails, failure points, and other technical considerations so your team understands what must be addressed before deployment. What to build first, second, and third, with the dependencies, effort, and reasoning behind each decision. Your engineering team gets a clear plan for what to build, in what order, and what needs to happen first.

A concrete path from validated prototype to production. We document the infrastructure, integrations, dependencies, engineering work, security requirements, and scaling considerations needed to turn the PoC into a production-ready system.

You findout whether the idea is worth building at scale. The evidence from the sprint gives your technical and business stakeholders what they need to make the next investment decision with confidence.

Discuss Your Use Case

How we decide if it's worth building

Before the sprint starts, we agree the ground-truth set, who owns labeling it, and the exact threshold that counts as a pass.

Build icon

Build

The prototype cleared the bar on accuracy, cost, and security. We hand you the roadmap and get moving.

Adjust icon

Adjust

The idea is close but not there yet, usually a different model, more data prep, or a narrower first use case. We tell you exactly what to change.

Stop icon

Stop

The economics or the data don't support it. You walk away with a clear answer, for a fraction of what a failed full build would have cost.

ROI you can measure instantly

Reconciliation used to take the better part of an afternoon. Someone on my team would be sifting through logs line-by-line and missing duplicates. Catalect automated it completely, now we upload the logs and it's done in 15 minutes.

Processing time reduced
What stood out most was how collaborative it was. Catalect brought the research and rigor to stress-test the matching logic, testing edge cases and pushing back when something felt untested. It never felt like a vendor handing over a deliverable, it felt like we were building it together. That back-and-forth is why the matching held up at launch.

DEPLOYMENT TIMELINE

From kick-off to functional prototype

A focused engineering sprint that turns your use case into a functional, validated prototype with measurable results.

Scope a Proof of Concept
STEP 1

Understand Business Needs

We scope your core use case, map the existing workflow, identify the systems and people involved, and define what success looks like in measurable terms.

STEP 2

Data & Technical Feasibility

We evaluate your data quality, infrastructure, integrations, and security requirements, then connect to a safe, partitioned slice of your real data to confirm the use case is technically viable.

STEP 3

Design the AI Solution

We define the workflow logic, select the right models and tools, and design the architecture around your specific use case, nothing generic, nothing reused from another client's build.

STEP 4

Build the Proof-of-Concept

We build the core pipeline, engineer the prompts, and add guardrails, encryption, and human-override points, so your team can safely test the working prototype against real-world conditions.

STEP 5

Validate & Production Plan

Your team runs real queries against the prototype. We measure performance against the success criteria, break down the expected costs, identify what needs refinement, and hand over a clear production roadmap.

The  engineering layer underneath

We build on established frontier models and open-source infrastructure, your internal team can pick up and run after we hand it off.

Proof-of-concept use cases across industries

We map our prototyping framework directly to your vertical's regulatory and operational constraints. Here is what we can build and validate for your team.

Document & data extraction
Validate whether AI can pull structured data out of your messiest unstructured files, with a real accuracy figure and a cost-per-document number before you commit to scaling it.
Used for:
Invoices
Intake charts
Shipping docs
KYC forms
Claims documents
Compliance paperwork
Conversational agent reliability
Velidate whether an AI agent can handle real customer conversations reliably, by testing ambiguous intents, edge cases, multi-turn interactions, and difficult handoffs before it reaches a live customer.
Used for:
Billing disputes
Account authentication
Order status
Customer support
Escalation handling
Anomaly and fraud detection
Test whether your transaction or claims data contains usable signals for detecting fraud and anomalies, with precision, recall, and false-positive rates measured against historical cases before you commit to production.
Used for:
Transaction monitoring
Fraud claims
Payment fraud
Duplicate detection
Behavioral anomalies
Unstructured data to structured reports
Test whether AI can turn free-text input into a structured report your existing systems can actually ingest, without a manually re-entering it. You leave knowing exactly how much manual re-entry this removes, measured against your own document volume
Used for:
Inspection reports
Call summaries
Service reports
Underwriting submissions
Field notes
Workflow routing and triage
We validate whether AI can correctly read an incoming request, a support ticket, a dispatch alert, an exception flag, and route it to the right team with the right context attached, instead of adding another queue for someone to manually sort.
Used for:
Support tickets
Dispatch exceptions
Internal handoffs
Case assignment
Order escalations
Service requests
Knowledge retrieval
We test whether AI can answer real questions correctly using your own internal documentation, policies, product specs, past case history, without hallucinating an answer that sounds right but isn't.
Used for:
Internal wikis
Policy documents
Case history
Product documentation
Employee FAQs
AI-powered decision support
Validate whether AI can turn the information your teams already review into a reliable recommendation, score, or next action, by measuring its decisions against historical cases and agreed criteria before putting it into a real workflow.
Used for:
Risk assessment
Lead qualification
Underwriting
Supplier evaluation
Credit assessment
