PreXLR

We want to accelerate a validation process during which we test a concept by speaking to customers.

The PreXLR program is a process of twelve weeks. In these twelve weeks, we test commercial feasibility by validating or rejecting uncertainties and risks. What does that mean?

It means that we pose hypotheses, interview consumers, and reiterate these hypotheses after analyzing the qualitative data.

We repeat this cycle about ten times, depending on the unanimity of the results. Once the problem people are experiencing is crystal clear, we match it with possible solutions. Again, the problem/solution fit will be tested and discussed. When an ideal fit has been fleshed out, we match it with technology.

Innovation can sprout from idealism, but it can also be enforced by the need for growth. Either way, innovation is a process of ongoing iteration, fickle and it is generally hard to predict.

Do we want to mitigate risk by putting together a sustainable innovation portfolio? Absolutely. But we especially want to be realistic about success.

We make sure that your idea meets the market in a way that is relevant for your end user, whether that is a consumer or a business. That also means that if it isn’t considered relevant, we advise against going ahead with the idea.
