PoC Loop

Written by one to ONE Holdings | Feb 16, 2026 10:12:29 AM

In strategic industrial management, the PoC Loop describes a cycle of small-scale experiments that do not progress to commercial production. This occurs when organizations focus on isolated technical validation instead of a clear scaling plan, causing innovations to remain in perpetual trials.

This stagnation leads to Technical Debt, as temporary prototypes result in fragmented systems that are hard to integrate later. To break this loop, enterprises should align early research with long-term infrastructure needs and design every pilot for industrial-scale deployment from the outset.
