Prototype Readiness Lab
Validate before you scale the build
A dedicated track for teams preparing investor demos, partner integrations, or internal launch gates.
Prototype goals
Define observable behaviors — not feature lists. Each goal links to a measurement method, owner, and revisit date. We reject goals that cannot be falsified in a sprint.
- Time-to-first-value under staged load
- Error budget for critical user paths
- Partner API handshake success rate
Output
Goal matrix exported to your wiki with sign-off slots.
Stakeholder validation flow
Each stage produces a written artifact before the next begins. No stage is skipped for schedule pressure.
Decision checkpoints
Checkpoint A
Scope boundary
Approve in-scope outcomes and explicit deferrals.
Checkpoint B
Technical risk
Rank integration and quality risks with owners.
Checkpoint C
Launch gate
Go/no-go criteria tied to observability and rollback.
