The method

Test the promise with a prototype

An experienceable prototype can replace abstract debate with observed behavior.

When to use it

  • AI tools make prototyping accessible to more roles.

Ask yourself

  • How do we stop arguing over the proposal?

Put it into action

  • Let people who understand the problem build a small version and watch target users work. Check production quality and permissions separately before release.

Keep these limits in mind

  • A working demo is not production readiness. Reliability, costs, data, and permissions need owners; documentation still supports coordination and accountability.
