# Seven-Day Production Prototype

One real vertical slice that answers the hardest feasibility question. A difficult integration, investor milestone, uncertain AI behaviour, or product idea that needs evidence quickly.

## When this fits

A difficult integration, investor milestone, uncertain AI behaviour, or product idea that needs evidence quickly.

## How I would approach it

I would not try to make the whole idea look finished in seven days. We would choose the one journey that carries the most risk and make that real, including the data, model behaviour, safeguards, deployment, and tests it needs. By the end, you should know what is possible, what is still uncertain, and what deserves the next investment.

## Useful artefacts, not ceremonial deliverables

### Constrained critical journey

One useful user path with a deliberate boundary around what the sprint must prove.

### Production-shaped data and AI path

Real contracts, model behaviour, data movement, and integration on the risky path.

### Safeguards, telemetry and deployment

Enough operating structure to see failures, costs, controls, and release conditions.

### Tests, findings and next-90-day recommendation

Evidence for the next investment, including uncertainty and reasons to change direction.
