"A software trial that allows a prospect to test the product before buying it, while at the same time delivering a realistic slice of functionality." (Jill DychƩ & Evan Levy, "Customer Data Integration: Reaching a Single Version of the Truth", 2006)
"Originally a term referring to a prototype proving a technical solution’s feasibility. Recently, the term has become synonymous with early-stage revenue-proving market feasibility. For example, without proof of concept revenue for early adopters, the inventor was having difficulty proving anyone needed what he had built." (Brad Feld & Sean Wise, "Startup Opportunities" 2nd Ed., 2017)
"A minimal implementation or execution of a process that serves as a sample sufficient to prove the success of the whole implementation or process." (DAMA International, "The DAMA Dictionary of Data Management", 2011)
"Is a realization of a certain method or idea in order to demonstrate its feasibility or a demonstration in principle with the aim of verifying that some concept or theory has practical potential. PoC represents a stage during the development of a product when it is established that the product will function as intended." (Soraya Sedkaoui & SRY Consulting, "Big Data Applications in Business", 2019)
"A demonstration of the feasibility of a particular method. PoC is used to test theoretical calculations and hypotheses in practice." (Kaspersky)
"A proof of concept (POC) is a demonstration of a product, service or solution in a sales context. A POC should demonstrate that the product or concept will fulfill customer requirements while also providing a compelling business case for adoption." (Gartner)
"A proof of concept (POC) is a demonstration to verify that certain concepts or theories have the potential for real-world application. In a nutshell, a POC represents the evidence demonstrating that a project or product is feasible and worthy enough to justify the expenses needed to support and develop it." (Techopedia) [source]
"A proof of concept (POC) is an exercise in which work is focused on determining whether an idea can be turned into a reality. A proof of concept is meant to determine the feasibility of the idea or to verify that the idea will function as envisioned." (Search CIO) [source]
"A proof of concept (POC) or a proof of principle is a realization of a certain method or idea to demonstrate its feasibility, or a demonstration in principle, whose purpose is to verify that some concept or theory has the potential of being used. A proof of concept is usually small and may or may not be complete." (SensiML)
