A prototype is an early, simplified version of a product created to explore ideas, test assumptions, and collect user feedback before full-scale development. Prototypes can range from low-fidelity sketches to interactive digital models. They help teams identify usability issues, refine features, and validate concepts quickly and cost-effectively. By testing ideas early, prototypes reduce risks, speed up decision-making, and ensure the final product aligns with user needs.
