INNOVATION PROTOTYPE ENGINEERING
We build working prototypes of emerging technologies for regulated industries.
Prove feasibility before investing millions. 2-4 month engagements that deliver working systems, not just slideware.
The Problem
You need to evaluate new technology but don't have in-house capability. Traditional consulting delivers strategy documents. Vendor POCs are designed to sell you their product. Your team lacks the expertise to build a proof-of-concept.
We build objective, working prototypes that prove technology works—or prove it doesn't—before you commit to full implementation.
When You Need This
Technology Exploration
"Can blockchain solve our multi-party trust problem?" Build 3-node working prototype, run real data, prove yes or no.
"Can I harmonize all my legacy data and mine it using AI?" Build semantic harmonization prototype, and agentic AI interface.
Executive Buy-In
"Leadership skeptical of digital thread investment." Build working demo connecting systems, show executives it works.
Feasibility Validation
"Will distributed ledger work for our consortium?" 3-month prototype proves concept before 18-month full build.
Reference Architecture
"Our team needs a starting point to build from." Deliver framework with working patterns, hand off to internal team.
Example Prototypes (Illustrative)
The following are representative scenarios showing how this service applies across industries, not actual client implementations.
Multi-Party Clinical Data Blockchain (Pharma)
4-node network (sponsor + 3 CROs), smart contracts for pooled analysis, data stays local, cryptographic verification
12 weeks | Working system + go/no-go decision
Digital Thread Integration (Aerospace)
Connect DOORS → CATIA → test systems, bidirectional traceability, change impact analysis, graph visualization
10 weeks | Working integration + architecture doc
AI/ML Data Platform (Pharma/Finance)
Integrate 3 data sources, quality framework, feature store, one trained model with metrics
12 weeks | Working pipeline + production roadmap
What You Get
- Working source code (documented, clean)
- Deployment scripts and infrastructure-as-code
- Architecture documentation
- Demo environment (cloud-hosted, 90 days)
- Technical feasibility assessment
- Go/no-go recommendation (objective)
- Production roadmap (if proceeding)
- Knowledge transfer to your team
Why 9Bit
Production Experience: Built pharmaceutical data platform (FDA-regulated, millions of subjects), blockchain marketplace (production scale), FinTech data strategy (regulatory compliance). We build prototypes based on systems we've deployed in production.
Regulated Industry Expertise: Deep experience with FDA/GxP (pharmaceutical), FAA/DO-178 (aerospace), and financial services regulation. We understand compliance requirements from day one.
Objective Evaluation: Not selling you a product. If technology doesn't fit your use case, we'll tell you and recommend alternatives.
