Questions a prototype answers
Pick the question that blocks your decision — the build is scoped to answer that one properly.
Feasibility proof
The hardest technical risk built first — a demonstration that the idea can work at all.
Concept validation
The concept exercised with real users or real inputs to see if the behavior matches the intent.
Performance characterization
The build measured under realistic load to map capacity, latency, and limits.
Vendor & stack evaluation
Candidates compared on working evidence — integration depth, maintenance cost, and fit.
Does the idea behave as intended?
The concept tested before it is built for real.
Hypotheses
The claims to test written down first.
User & input testing
Real users or real data exercised against the intent.
Verdict
A clear go, no-go, or pivot with the evidence shown.
Can it work at all?
The hardest risk answered with a working build.
Risk-first build
The uncertain part of the idea built before the easy parts.
Minimal scope
Only what is needed to answer the question.
Exit criteria
Success and failure defined before the build starts.
Ideas proven in silicon and copper
Boards built, powered, and measured.
Board bring-up
First power-on handled with a structured checklist.
Measured limits
Current, timing, and margin recorded against targets.
Iteration
Revisions driven by data from the previous build.
Behavior shown, not described
Interactive builds that demonstrate the product's core.
Core behavior
The essential flows working, not the full feature set.
Demo-ready
A build a decision-maker can use, not just watch.
Data honesty
What is faked and what is real is labeled.
Exploration with a deliverable
Research that ends in evidence, not just findings.
Defined questions
The open questions listed before the work starts.
Experiment design
Each question answered by a measurable test.
Knowledge handoff
Results written up so the learning survives the project.
What you walk away with
A prototype is a decision aid — so the output is the evidence and the recommendation, not just the demo.
