Practical guidance, tools, and templates for running fast prototypes, experiments, and minimum viable offerings that validate value and reduce risk.
A practical guide to choosing the lowest-cost, fastest prototype that reliably tests your riskiest assumptions. Includes mapping from learning goals to prototype types, cost/time/risk heuristics, recommended tooling and team roles, example evaluation rubrics, and a ready-to-use engineering handoff checklist.
A hands-on playbook for designing and running fast, low-cost prototypes and MVP experiments that validate customer and operational value. Includes decision tools for choosing fidelity, sprint plans for 1–4 week builds, measurement templates, a demo script, user-test checklist, and a lightweight evaluation rubric to decide go/no-go.
An interactive, scored rubric to evaluate prototypes against criteria such as learning rate, required fidelity, build cost, deployment risk, and customer reaction. Collects structured evaluations, stores results, and provides clear, practical guidance for deciding whether to iterate, pivot, scale, or retire a prototype.
A practical decision matrix and facilitation script that helps teams pick the simplest prototype fidelity (paper, mock, interactive, code, or production-like sandbox) that will produce the learning and evidence you need while minimizing cost, time, and risk.
A facilitator-ready interactive script and observation form to run quick prototype tests, capture consistent structured feedback, score learnings, and produce prioritized next actions. Includes facilitator guidance, neutral prompts, probing questions, a three-task observation matrix, a simple scoring rubric, and fields to save each session's observations.
A lightweight decision tool and facilitation script for choosing the right prototype fidelity and method based on your learning goals, constraints, and risk tolerance. Includes a printable decision radar template, recommended prototype types, example success criteria, quick facilitation script, and practical usage tips.
