Consumer packaged goods brands were running new product development cycles that took 6–8 months from concept to validated prototype, a timeline that made it impossible to respond to fast-moving consumer trends or test multiple concepts in parallel.
Manufacturing cost estimates alone required 6 weeks of supplier back-and-forth. The constraint wasn't capability; it was process.
Board of Innovation built an AI-native NPD engine that restructured every stage of the product development process, concept generation, consumer insight synthesis, formulation modeling, and packaging iteration, around AI-augmented workflows operating in days, plus a manufacturing quoting tool that reduced supplier cost estimation from 6 weeks to same-day.
Full new product development cycle, concept to validated prototype, compressed from months to days using AI-native workflows.
Supplier cost estimation cut from 6-week lead time to same-day turnaround for CPG clients.
CPG innovation teams freed from process administration to focus exclusively on high-judgment prototype evaluation and decision-making.
