Quick Answers
A POC validates the technical approach and business value before full investment. For Evolv, it confirmed that real-time threat detection and mobile alerting were feasible while surfacing a clear direction for a full-scale build.
This POC was delivered in a compressed 3.5-week timeframe, covering discovery, design, and validation phases.
You receive validated feasibility of the core assumptions, real-time alert transmission, mobile-first monitoring, and system integration, plus interface mockups and a clear path to production.
No. The point of a POC is to test key assumptions with minimal risk, so you can make an informed decision before committing to full development.
