Rapid ∙ Prototype, (n.)
An artifact to help us determine whether we’re moving in the
right direction with our {concept} by making it easier for us to
talk about it with our {prospective users}

Rapid ∙ Prototype, (n.)
An artifact to help us determine whether we’re moving in the
right direction with our {concept} by making it easier for us to
talk about it with our {prospective users}
{concept} = feature, interaction, messaging, color palette
{prospective users} or customers, boss, board, engineers
