When and why to build a PoC — especially when you're exploring technical feasibility or innovation under uncertainty
How to define success criteria, identify key risks, and communicate results to stakeholders or investors
Real-world examples of how PoCs have de-risked big bets and saved teams from chasing dead ends
A simple mental checklist to remember the PoC process: Define, Build, Test, Learn, Decide
