STEP 02/03
02
Run a focused trial
Work together for a defined period with a shared goal and clear expectations. Trials run from one week to three months, agreed up front by both sides. Short enough to be low risk. Focused enough to actually move things forward.
STEP 03/03
03
Build what it could become
If the fit is right, keep going. Deepen the collaboration, expand the scope, or explore what the project could grow into. If not, both sides walk away having built something real.
