Resource Drain from Failed POCs
$High resource cost per failed POC (3x lower success if >3 months; enterprise deals avg 6-figure ACV lost)Enterprise tech firms, particularly in data security and cybersecurity, allocate significant engineering and sales resources to POCs that rarely convert, with over 78% of IT executives reporting less than half result in production, creating bottlenecks and idle capacity during extended trials.
Low POC to Paid Conversion Rates
$X per POC (unquantified; industry avg conversion <50%, with ACV losses in six-figures for enterprise deals)Over 50% of proof-of-concepts in enterprise technology, including data security software, fail to convert to paid production deployments, resulting in lost revenue opportunities from elongated sales cycles and resources invested without returns. Surveys of Global 2000 IT executives confirm less than half of POCs lead to sales, with poor execution placing deals in purgatory.

$Lost pipeline value (POC conversion <50%; delays purgatory status for multi-year contracts)Potential customers in data security software experience friction from indecisive POC outcomes, leading to lost deals as buyers hesitate on new technologies; 58% of IT executives always use POCs but see low conversion due to trust gaps and poor execution.
