Clickable Prototypes & Proofs of Concept

A working prototype you can put in front of users or investors, or a focused proof of concept that shows whether a risky integration or technique works before you fund the full build.

A prototype answers a question. Will users understand this workflow? Can we pull appointment slots out of this EHR? Is a language model accurate enough on our documents? The engineering should be as cheap as the question allows, and no cheaper. I build two kinds: Clickable prototypes are real Next.js screens with realistic fake data, deployed to a URL you can share. They make user testing far more honest than static mockups, because people can type, filter, get lost and make mistakes. Technical proofs of concept are narrow and deep: one integration, one algorithm or one performance question…
