What Your Prototype Is Actually Telling You — And What to Do About It

A prototype is not a miniature product. It is a decision tool — something you build specifically so an assumption you cannot see stops being invisible. The moment a user fumbles with a control, hesitates before confirming an action, or simply cannot find the thing you assumed was obvious, the assumption becomes a fact you can act on. The hard part isn’t building that moment. It’s knowing what to do the morning after.
