Proof of Concept / Proof of Principle

Proof of Principle (POP) efforts are frequently performed by NSI on behalf of our customers. A POP typically makes sense when there are unknowns or details that can only be determined through testing. POP efforts are typically very affordable relative to the alternative of purchasing full systems without an opportunity to test. Often any tooling built for a POP will be production-ready when the Customer later acquires an Applicator(s).
Nautilus Systems, Inc. provides Proof of Concept (POC) and Proof of Principle (POP) services. POC and POP services entail developing solutions to test an idea or concept to confirm that it will provide the expected benefits and functions in a reduced scope format.
In these solutions NSI, in collaboration with our customer, defines the areas of uncertainty, or ‘unknowns’, and then devises a method to test a concept to confirm that it will work properly without going to the length of building a full system. A POC or POP typically provides a win-win scenario for NSI and our customers by eliminating uncertainty and setting the parties up for mutual success.
