What is v0.1

v0.1 is a small lab where we prove ideas with working kits. We cut scope, ship fast, and put real signals in front of operators. If a kit works, we scale it. If not, we learn and move.

How it works
  • Define the outcome and the two or three signals that prove progress.
  • Assemble a small kit that fits in the current stack.
  • Pilot for a short window with one accountable owner.
Where it fits
  • Operations that need clarity fast.
  • Finance and reporting that teams actually use.
  • New venture tests that need light structure.
Examples
  • Private banking documentation controls v0.1.
  • Procurement quick wins with on-contract spend hints.
  • Collections ladder for DSO with action queue.
How to start

Tell us where you are stuck. We will suggest a v0.1 pilot or a narrow workstream. Most kits run as a 1 to 3 week pilot with one owner and a simple plan.
