Problems We Solve

Innovation blocked by internal politics or risk concerns

Leaders who need proof before funding a large program

Teams with bold ideas but no clear path to test them

Our Solution

Confidential pilot or MVP build for a narrow but high value use case

Small senior strike team from TechSparq with clear ownership

Weekly demos and decisions with a tight circle of sponsors

Clear decision point to scale, pivot, or stop after the pilot

Scale up roadmap with cost and impact if results are strong

How It Works

Our structured approach delivers results through clear phases:

1

Align and frame

Week 1
  • Agree on the pilot problem and success metrics
  • Define stakeholders and confidentiality rules
  • Lock scope and timeline
2

Build and iterate

Weeks 2 to 9
  • Design and build the pilot solution
  • Run weekly demos with sponsors
  • Refine based on feedback
  • Prepare for limited live use or private demo
3

Prove and decide

Weeks 10 to 12
  • Run a short live test or staged demo
  • Measure against agreed success metrics
  • Decide to scale, adjust, or end
4

Scale path

At three to six months
  • Plan full rollout if approved
  • Estimate cost and resourcing
  • Align with portfolio and roadmap

Expected Outcomes

Working pilot or MVP tied to a real problem

Evidence for or against a larger investment

Clear view of value, risk, and next steps

Lower political and delivery risk for innovation

Ready to Start?

You might be ready if you hear yourself saying:

  • We have a bold idea but cannot get it approved.

  • We want to test AI or new tech without a huge public bet.

Common Questions Answered

We worry a pilot will distract the team.

Stealth Pilot uses a focused joint squad with TechSparq taking most of the build load. The goal is to limit blast radius and keep core teams on their main work.

If the pilot fails it could hurt careers.

The program is built to keep risk low and learning high. Success is not just a win but also clear evidence of what not to pursue, and that insight has real value.
