01The grounding move — convergence earns its keep here
One move inside a run.
Personas actually use the prototype.
- Test a flow before you commit engineering to it
- Catch where users stall, misread or bail — with the moment it happened
- Ground an ideation shortlist in actual usage, not show-of-hands
- Climb the fidelity ladder: lo-fi to mid-fi, tested at each rung
02On the record
It disagrees with you — with quotes.
“I gave up on the import screen twice before I found the button. In a Friday rush I’d have closed it for good.”
“Using it changed my mind — I thought I wanted the dashboard, but the reschedule flow is what I’d pay for.”
“The onboarding asked me eight questions before showing any value. I’d never have seen screen two.”
What you get

05Questions
What counts as a prototype?
Anything a browser can open — a Figma link, a staging URL, a local build. The harness drives a real session; personas react to what actually happened in it.
