Riskiest assumption prototype
A prototype is most useful when it focuses on the riskiest assumption instead of recreating the entire product.
正文
A focused prototype deliberately avoids full product fidelity. It gives the team just enough surface area to test the uncertain part of the idea: demand, comprehension, workflow fit, accessibility, willingness to pay, or operational feasibility.
For solo builders, this prevents overbuilding. The prototype should answer a decision question, not become the first version by accident.
