A new product idea often goes straight from a presentation to a full build. Later the team discovers that users wanted something different, that a key integration does not work as expected, or that customers will not pay for the feature everyone assumed mattered most. By then most of the budget is spent and changing direction is hard.
Kemlat helps you test the idea first. We write down the assumptions the idea depends on, choose which ones to test, and build the smallest version that can test them. That may be a minimum viable product (MVP), a basic product that real users try, or a proof of concept (POC), a technical trial that checks whether an approach works. The result is evidence for a decision: continue, change the idea, or stop.
How we work
- 01
Clarify the idea and assumptions
We work with you to state the problem, the target users and the assumptions behind the idea, such as who will pay, how often they will use it, or whether a needed integration is possible.
- 02
Choose what to test
We rank the assumptions by how uncertain they are and how much the plan depends on them. The assumptions that are both uncertain and important become the test, each with a measure that will show whether it holds.
- 03
Set the smallest scope
We define the minimum features, users and data needed to run the test. Anything that does not help answer the questions waits for later.
- 04
Build the testable version
We build the MVP or proof of concept, using ready-made tools where they are good enough. It is stable enough for real users or real data, without the extras a full product would need.
- 05
Run the trial
We run the test with the agreed users or data and collect usage figures, feedback and technical findings.
- 06
Read results and recommend
We compare the results with the measures set at the start and recommend whether to build further, adjust the idea or stop. If you continue, we outline the scope of the next phase.
What you receive
Assumptions and test plan
A written list of the assumptions, the ones being tested, and the measure for each.
Initial scope
The features, users and data agreed for the first version, and what is deliberately left out.
Testable MVP or proof of concept
A working version or technical trial that real users or real data can be put through.
Trial results report
Usage data, user feedback and technical findings set against the agreed measures.
Next-step recommendation
A clear recommendation, with the outline scope of the next phase if you decide to continue.
What changes for you
- Funding decisions rest on evidence from users or technical trials rather than opinion.
- Technical risks are found while they are still small and easy to address.
- If the full product is built, it starts from features users have shown they need.
- Management or investors receive a clear record of what was tested and what was found.
Where this service sits in the KEMLAT Method
Scope: The MVP is built to test specific assumptions, not to serve as the finished product. Taking it into full production may need further work on security, capacity and features, which is scoped after the trial.
Questions clients ask
What is the difference between an MVP and a proof of concept?
A proof of concept answers a technical question, such as whether two systems can exchange data reliably. An MVP answers a market question, such as whether users will use or pay for the product. Some projects need both, starting with the proof of concept.
Can the MVP become the final product?
Parts of it can, especially when it is built on the technology planned for the full product. We tell you at the start which parts are meant to stay and which are temporary.
Who are the test users?
Usually a pilot group you choose, such as selected customers, one branch or one team. We help you decide who they are and how they are invited, so the results mean something.
What if the results are negative?
Then the trial has done its job before a large investment was made. We explain what did not work and whether a changed version of the idea is worth testing.
