idea to prototype in 1 meeting
We’ll sit down, go through your idea, and build a working prototype live. You’ll see what your idea looks like before committing and get a realistic view of scope, cost, and scale.
Trusted by great companies
What you get
- A focused 1-on-1 session with our senior product experts.
- A live prototype built around your idea.
- Honest feedback on risks, scope, and next steps.
Who is this for?
For leaders at companies with big ideas and lean tech teams.
You might be…
- A Founder/Owner with a product idea, but no dev capacity to test it yet.
- A Head of Product who needs validation before committing budget and team time.
- A Head of Business Development exploring a new digital revenue stream.
HOW IT WORKS
IN DETAIL
Hop on a call with our experts
Pick a time that works for you, our experts are usually available within 24 hours.
Share a short description of your idea or a brief technical overview so our team can prepare properly. This can include:
- The problem you’re trying to solve
- Who will use the product
- The core feature/workflow you want to prototype
- Anything you want feedback on during the session
We’ll review everything before the call and use the session to focus on what matters most.
Watch a prototype take shape
We start with your idea.
You’ll walk us through what you want to build, who it’s for, and why you want to build it.
While we talk, we start building the prototype. Live.
Together, we’ll define the main features, sketch key flows, and shape the first version of your product.
By the end of the session, you’ll have a clickable prototype that makes your idea easier to understand, share, and evaluate internally.
Get a clear recommendation
At the end of the session, we won’t leave you with “it depends.”
Based on what we’ve discussed and what we built together, we’ll tell you:
- Whether the idea is worth pursuing now
- What you should refine before investing further
- What the smartest next step would be
- A ballpark cost estimate for a full-fledged product
Sometimes that means moving into full product discovery.
And sometimes it means narrowing the scope or rethinking the positioning before building anything at all.
Either way, you won’t leave guessing. You’ll leave with a clear direction and a realistic path forward.
Let’s make it work for you
We’ll explore how an AI prototype helps validate your idea, prove the use case, and define what it would take to build a full product.

Great, but why DECODE?
Focus on business impact
We don’t build features for the sake of it. Every system, integration, or platform is tied to a business goal. Lower operational cost. Faster execution. New revenue streams. Improved customer retention. If it doesn’t move the needle, we don’t prioritize it.
Agentic development
AI is a key part of how we build software. We use it across the software lifecycle to cut down on repetitive work, make better decisions, and keep quality high. And it gives us more time to think through what we’re building, focus on quality, and keep things smoother from planning to release.
Predictable delivery
You’ll know what we’re building, how long it will take, and what it will cost. We define scope clearly, break work into phases, and tie delivery to measurable outcomes. No open-ended projects. No vague promises.
Industry versatility
We’ve worked across manufacturing, fintech, healthcare, logistics, and other complex environments. That means we adapt quickly to your domain, understand regulatory and operational constraints, and design systems that fit how your industry actually works.
But don’t take our word for it…
Still unsure about something?
Don’t worry, whatever it is, we’ve got you covered in our FAQ.
Yes. It’s a working, clickable prototype.
It’s not production-ready software, but it’s real enough to walk through key flows, test assumptions, and show your team how the product could work.
You can use it to explain the idea internally, get early feedback, and decide whether it’s worth moving forward.
We use our proprietary in-house prototyping tool to turn ideas into interactive screens quickly.
Because we’ve done this many times before, we know how to focus on what matters. We don’t try to design everything. We build just enough to make the concept tangible.
The goal isn’t a finished product, but a realistic first version that helps you think more clearly about scope, cost, and direction.
That’s completely fine. Most ideas still are at this stage.
You don’t need a 30-page specification, business case, or technical brief. Just bring the core concept and a short brief detailing the problem you’re trying to solve.
We’ll help you shape it, challenge it where needed, and narrow it down to something workable.
Whoever owns the idea or the decision.
That’s usually a founder, product lead, or head of a business unit. If someone else will be involved in approving or funding the initiative, it’s helpful to have them there too.
You’ll receive the prototype along with a short written summary of our recommendations.
If the idea shows real potential, we’ll suggest moving into a structured product discovery phase. That’s where we validate assumptions, define scope in detail, and create a realistic roadmap and budget.
Of course, you’re under no obligation to continue with discovery. The session stands on its own.
No.
It’s a working session. Our goal is to give you something useful in 30-45 minute session.
If there’s a strong fit, we’ll outline the logical next step. If not, you still leave with a prototype and honest feedback.
Yes. We’re happy to sign a mutual NDA before the call.
Just let us know when you book the session and we’ll send it over. We treat every conversation as confidential by default.
Discovery costs depend on complexity:
- Simple: up to 8 weeks, $29,000
- Advanced: 10–16 weeks, $29,000–$55,000
- Complex: 16+ weeks, $55,000+
The scope, target platform(s), and feature complexity all influence cost and duration. Contact us for a more precise estimate.
