-# Prototyping Techniques
-
-## Overview
-
-Prototyping is the process of creating early samples or models of a product to test concepts, gather feedback, and validate designs before full development. Prototypes range from low-fidelity sketches to high-fidelity interactive simulations.
-
-## Prototype Fidelity Levels
-
-### Low-Fidelity
-- Quick to create
-- Paper sketches
-- Wireframes
-- Basic layouts
-- Early concepts
-
-**Use When:**
-- Exploring ideas
-- Early validation
-- Rapid iteration
-- Concept testing
-- Team alignment
-
-### Medium-Fidelity
-- More detail
-- Digital wireframes
-- Basic interactions
-- Some styling
-- Structured layouts
-
-**Use When:**
-- Refining concepts
-- Testing flows
-- User testing
-- Stakeholder review
-- Design development
-
-### High-Fidelity
-- Detailed design
-- Interactive prototype
-- Real content
-- Final styling
-- Near-final experience
-
-**Use When:**
-- Final validation
-- Detailed testing
-- Stakeholder approval
-- Development handoff
-- User acceptance testing
-
-## Prototyping Methods
-
-### Paper Prototyping
-- Hand-drawn sketches
-- Quick iteration
-- Low cost
-- Easy to modify
-- Collaborative
-
-**Best For:**
-- Early ideation
-- Team brainstorming
-- Quick concepts
-- Rapid iteration
-- Low-fidelity testing
-
-### Digital Wireframes
-- Digital sketches
-- Structure and layout
-- Content placement
-- Navigation flow
-- Basic interactions
-
-**Best For:**
-- Information architecture
-- Layout testing
-- Content structure
-- Navigation design
-- Medium-fidelity
-
-### Interactive Prototypes
-- Clickable prototypes
-- User flows
-- Interactions
-- Animations
-- Realistic experience
-
-**Best For:**
-- User testing
-- Stakeholder demos
-- Flow validation
-- Interaction design
-- High-fidelity testing
-
-### Code Prototypes
-- HTML/CSS/JS
-- Functional prototype
-- Real interactions
-- Performance testing
-- Technical validation
-
-**Best For:**
-- Technical feasibility
-- Performance testing
-- Complex interactions
-- Development reference
-- Production-ready
-
-## Prototyping Tools
-
-### Design Tools
-- Figma
-- Sketch
-- Adobe XD
-- InVision
-- Framer
-
-### Code Prototypes
-- HTML/CSS
-- JavaScript frameworks
-- React
-- Vue
-- Angular
-
-### Specialized Tools
-- Axure (complex interactions)
-- Principle (animations)
-- Proto.io (mobile)
-- Marvel (quick prototypes)
-
-## Prototyping Process
-
-### 1. Define Goals
-- What to test
-- Questions to answer
-- Success criteria
-- Target users
-- Scope
-
-### 2. Choose Fidelity
-- Appropriate level
-- Time constraints
-- Testing needs
-- Stakeholder requirements
-- Resources available
-
-### 3. Create Prototype
-- Build prototype
-- Include key features
-- Test interactions
-- Add content
-- Refine details
-
-### 4. Test Prototype
-- User testing
-- Stakeholder review
-- Gather feedback
-- Identify issues
-- Document findings
-
-### 5. Iterate
-- Refine based on feedback
-- Fix issues
-- Improve design
-- Test again
-- Repeat as needed
-
-## Prototyping Best Practices
-
-### 1. Start Low-Fidelity
-- Begin with sketches
-- Rapid iteration
-- Explore concepts
-- Save time
-- Focus on structure
-
-### 2. Test Early
-- Don't wait for perfection
-- Test early concepts
-- Gather feedback
-- Iterate quickly
-- Validate assumptions
-
-### 3. Focus on Key Features
-- Core functionality
-- Critical paths
-- Important interactions
-- Key user flows
-- Essential features
-
-### 4. Use Real Content
-- Actual content when possible
-- Realistic data
-- Meaningful examples
-- Contextual information
-- Authentic experience
-
-### 5. Test with Users
-- Real users
-- Target audience
-- Actual scenarios
-- Realistic tasks
-- Authentic feedback
-
-## Common Prototyping Mistakes
-
-### 1. Too Much Detail Too Early
-- Over-detailed early prototypes
-- Wasted time
-- Hard to change
-- Premature decisions
-- Slower iteration
-
-### 2. Not Testing
-- Creating but not testing
-- No feedback
-- Assumptions not validated
-- Missed issues
-- Wasted effort
-
-### 3. Wrong Fidelity
-- Inappropriate level
-- Too detailed or too basic
-- Doesn't meet needs
-- Wasted resources
-- Poor results
-
-### 4. Ignoring Feedback
-- Not acting on feedback
-- Defensive about design
-- Missing improvements
-- Wasted testing
-- Poor outcomes
-
-## Prototype Testing
-
-### Usability Testing
-- Task-based testing
-- Observe users
-- Gather feedback
-- Identify issues
-- Measure success
-
-### Concept Testing
-- Validate concepts
-- Test ideas
-- Gather reactions
-- Assess viability
-- Make decisions
-
-### Stakeholder Review
-- Get approval
-- Align team
-- Communicate design
-- Gather input
-- Build consensus
-
-## Prototyping for Different Stages
-
-### Discovery
-- Low-fidelity
-- Explore concepts
-- Test ideas
-- Rapid iteration
-- Quick validation
-
-### Design
-- Medium to high-fidelity
-- Refine designs
-- Test interactions
-- Validate flows
-- Detailed testing
-
-### Development
-- High-fidelity
-- Technical validation
-- Performance testing
-- Development reference
-- Handoff documentation
