POC
Initial viability test
POC is an abbreviation with two main meanings depending on context.
In social and political discourse, it stands for "person of color" or "people of color"—anyone who isn't white: The organization centers POC voices.
In business and technology contexts, POC means "proof of concept"—a demonstration that an idea or method is feasible: We built a POC before committing to full development.
