Time to Build POC
Time spent building a proof of concept from start to finish, including development, testing, and deployment
Input in hours or days
Example: A typical enterprise POC with 3 API integrations requires 80 hours (10 business days) with 2 engineers working simultaneously
Impact: This time directly impacts your team's capacity and sales cycle length
80 hours
Monthly Resource Cost
Total cost of engineering resources dedicated to POC development per month
Calculated from team size and salaries
Example: 3 SEs at $150,000 annual salary each = $37,500 monthly resource cost ($450,000 annually)
Impact: This represents your current investment in POC development that could be optimized

With Proofs
Time to Build POC
Time required to create and deploy a POC using Proofs platform
Measured in minutes
Example: The same enterprise POC that took 80 hours can be built in just 30 minutes using Proofs templates and automation
Impact: Reduction from days to minutes accelerates sales cycles and increases win rates

Monthly Resource Cost
Total cost including Proofs platform and minimal engineering time
Platform cost + Resource cost
Example: $5,000 platform fee + $1,000 for 2 POCs = $6,000 total monthly cost
Impact: Significantly reduced costs while maintaining or increasing POC output
