Why start with a prototype before building any system?

A prototype exposes gaps in the idea within days instead of months, saving a serious amount of budget before development starts.

An idea in your head is not an idea on screen

Most founders have a clear picture in mind, but the first interactive screen raises questions nobody considered: who approves a request? What happens on cancellation? A prototype surfaces those questions early and at zero cost.

Decide from experience, not description

When your team actually uses the prototype, the decision to invest in full delivery is based on real experience. That drastically reduces large change requests after development starts — the main driver of cost and delay.
