By separating the decision to test an idea from the decision to fund it, this paper empowers you to prove your concept's merit before ever asking for a budget, shifting the competitive advantage from those with the most resources to those with the deepest understanding of the problem.

This advisory paper provides a rigorous roadmap to move beyond the "done trap" of a flashy demo and toward a truly evidence-based requirements document. You will learn a consistent method to build, stress-test, and interrogate AI-generated prototypes to surface hidden assumptions before they become expensive mistakes in production.
