- Design and build rapid proof-of-concept prototypes - agentic pipelines, conversational interfaces, analytical tools
- Translate ambiguous client requirements into concrete, testable problem statements; push back on requirements that are too broad to validate or too narrow to generalize
- Run structured validation sessions with customers using working prototypes, gather qualitative and quantitative signal on whether the PoC addresses the stated need
- Partner with product managers to ensure PoC findings directly inform roadmap decisions - requirements that survive validation become backlog items
