PROTOTYPE SPRINT
Prove it before you build it.
Our rapid prototyping service gives you a clickable prototype or a working AI proof of concept on your real data in 1–2 weeks. Show investors, win board approval, or test with users before you commit to a full build.
1–2 weeks · Fixed price
- A clickable prototype or working proof of concept
- Tested with your real data or real users
- A scope and fixed quote for the next step, included
30 minutes · No obligation · NDA on request
Who a prototype sprint is for
- Founders raising money. Investors fund what they can click. Walk into the pitch with a product, not slides.
- Innovation and product teams. You need board or budget approval for an AI or digital idea. Show it working on your own data.
- Anyone unsure if it's possible. Will the AI be accurate enough? Will the integration work? Find out in days, not months.
Two kinds of prototype
- Clickable prototype (design-led):
- Interactive screens for the key user journeys
- Realistic content and flows, testable on a phone or laptop
- A short user test plan
- Technical proof of concept (AI or integration):
- A working model or integration on your real data
- Accuracy measured against examples you provide
- A short report: what worked, the limits, and what a full build needs
- Both include:
- A kickoff workshop
- A demo session with your team or investors
- A written scope and fixed quote for the MVP or product build
Your sprint, step by step
- Day 1 · Kickoff. Goals, users, data and the one question the prototype must answer.
- Days 2–7 · Build. Daily progress, with a mid-sprint check-in.
- Days 8–10 · Test and present. We test it, demo it to your team, and hand over the prototype and the report.
Tech stack
- Figma
- React
- Python
- OpenAI and Anthropic APIs
- LangChain or LlamaIndex
- vector databases
- your data sources
HOW PRICING WORKS
Fixed price for your scopeIncluded
Everything above.
If you go on to build the MVP with us within 60 days, half the prototype fee is credited to the MVP.
Not included
- Production hosting
- Security hardening
- Features beyond the one question the prototype answers
Built to remove the risk
Hiring a team you haven't met is a leap. These commitments are in every contract.
You own everything from day one
Code in your repository, cloud and tool accounts in your name, and full IP assignment in the contract.A demo every week
Working software on a live link, not a status report.Free fixes after launch
2 weeks after an MVP, 4 weeks after a product build.NDA on request
Signed before the first call if you want it.Why a studio, not a freelancer or a big agency
| Freelancer | Big agency | Ryo Forge | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time to a working MVP | Unpredictable | 3–6 months | 2–3 weeks |
| Who builds it | One person | Juniors, managed by an account team | Senior engineers with a named tech lead |
| Price | Low, then grows | High, often hourly | Fixed price, agreed before work starts |
| If someone is sick or leaves | Work stops | Handled | Handled, with a team behind every project |
| Code ownership | Often unclear | Usually yours, after final payment | Yours from day one |
| Progress you can see | Ad hoc | Monthly reports | Weekly demos on a live link |
Frequently asked questions
A prototype proves an idea or a technical risk. It isn't built for real users at scale. An MVP is working software real users sign up to and use.
Yes. That's one of the most common reasons to run a sprint. A clickable product is far more convincing than slides.
A representative sample, such as 50–500 documents, records or examples, plus what a "correct" answer looks like. We sign an NDA before you share anything.
That's a valuable result. You find out in 2 weeks instead of 6 months. The report explains why and what alternatives exist.
The design and the learnings carry over directly. The code usually gets rebuilt to production standards during the MVP.
