Solutioning as a Service™
Matter + Energy's proprietary engineering and product-development offering for identifying business problems, designing technology solutions, building MVPs, and deploying production-ready systems.
Framework
7-step process from problem definition to production deployment
Lab Session
In person or virtual — limited quarterly availability for qualified teams
Timeline
Working prototypes in weeks, not months — validated before full build begins
Entry Points
Discovery Call (30 min virtual) or Lab Session (half-day or full-day, in person or virtual)
The Model
The failure point is almost never the technology. It is the gap between a real operational problem and a clearly defined solution. Teams rush to implementation before the problem is properly scoped, the right use cases are identified, and the architecture is validated. The result is a build that solves the wrong problem — or the right problem in the wrong way.
Solutioning as a Service™ was built to close that gap. We bring a structured framework, deep implementation expertise across Technology Spend Intelligence and AI Adoption, and a Lab Session — in person or virtual — where your team can work through a real challenge with our specialists — before a budget line is opened or a contract is signed.
The process is deliberate. The output is concrete. And we stay through production to make sure it works.
The Framework
The first two steps of our framework happen before you commit to anything larger. Each produces a specific output, and nothing advances without a validated deliverable from the step before it.
Align on the real problem — not the symptom. We facilitate structured solutioning sessions that surface the underlying challenge, define what success looks like in measurable terms, and identify the stakeholders whose buy-in is required for the solution to stick.
Turn pain points into concrete, value-based use cases and agree on budget boundaries. We score each use case by feasibility, time-to-value, and strategic alignment — so investment is directed toward the opportunities with the highest likelihood of measurable return.
Steps three to seven (Blueprint, Prove, Build, Launch and Evolve) are how we deliver once you decide to go ahead. See how we deliver →
Ways to Start
Most organizations start with a Discovery Call. Teams that already have a defined challenge and decision-makers ready can go straight to a Lab Session.

The Lab Session
We reserve a limited number of lab sessions each quarter for qualified enterprise and government teams. Bring a real operational challenge to a Lab Session — in person or virtual — and work through it live with our specialists.
In a single session, your team will walk away with a draft use case, reference architecture options, and a clear MVP path. Not a pitch. Not a proposal. Actual work product.
Not sure if you're ready for a full lab session? Start with a 30-minute Discovery Call to clarify your challenge and determine whether the lab is the right next step.
A draft use case scoped to your environment
Reference architecture options mapped to your stack
A clear, costed MVP path forward
Location
In-person or virtual attendance available
Availability
Limited sessions each quarter — eligibility review required
Cost
For qualified teams. Terms and conditions apply.
Duration
Half-day (3 hours) or full-day (6 hours) — structured working sessions in person or virtual

Who It's For
Enterprise and government teams with a defined challenge and decision-making authority in the room
A 30-minute Discovery Call is a short, no-obligation conversation. We'll tell you within the first conversation whether there's a meaningful opportunity — and what the right next step looks like.
