Short Timeline

The team had a tight deadline to deliver the MVP, as they were in talks with potential Fortune 500 clients. Meeting this deadline was critical to building credibility and securing key partnerships.

Key metrics to improve

Traditional carbon tracking in this sector is slow (months per product), costly, inaccurate, and hard to scale due to poor supplier data response and manual effort.

MVP Approach: Focus on Core Features

By clearly defining the MVP scope and using a feature prioritization approach, we ensured that essential was delivered within the tight timeline, while non-critical items were added to the backlog for future phases.

Iterative Feedback Loops Drive Success

Validating early wireframes with users allowed for quick identification of issues and alignment with real user needs. This ensured that the MVP was both user-friendly and aligned with business goals.

Collaboration and Stakeholder Involvement

Close collaboration with cross-functional teams, including stakeholders and users, throughout the design process helped ensure the final product met both business objectives and user needs.

Main Dashboard

The first view of the dashboard had one critical goal: surface the most important information immediately.
To achieve this, we prioritized displaying key metrics upfront, along with clear error states and proactive alerts (e.g., via the AI Auditor flagging issues like data gaps or inconsistencies).

AI-Agent

The AI agent identifies missing carbon data (e.g., Scope 1, 2, and 3) and automatically generates a request to manufacturers, prompting them to provide the necessary information to suppliers. This streamlines data collection and ensures timely, accurate reporting.

We delivered AI-driven insights and intuitive tools that empower manufacturers and suppliers to optimize carbon data management—achieving up to $3M in average savings per 100 products compared to traditional consultant-led methods.

Results: AI Powered Dashboard in 3 weeks

The MVP for Sluicebox.ai was built and validated in just 3 weeks through direct collaboration with early customers like Vishay Intertechnology, Western Digital, and TTI—delivering immediate, measurable impact that helped secure key contracts with major players in the electronics and semiconductor space (including potential Fortune 500 engagements).
