Prototype Build And Test
Prototypes are a valuable and efficient way of evaluating the overall concept as well as the engineering to this point. A working prototype is required for all crowdfunding platforms! Once you get your hands on the first prototype you will think of many more things you want to adjust. A prototype is also useful to show potential investors what you have in mind. It’s easier to judge the product if you have it in your hands rather than looking at CAD models and renderings. It is common to decide the prototype needs changes based on the way it feels or functions. In this case we go back to Phase Three to rework whatever is desired. So Phase four and Phase three are an iterative process.
A prototype may be manufactured and evaluated. Unless specifically denoted below, neither cost to manufacture prototypes nor labor required for prototype assembly is included in this estimate, as such costs are impossible to predict before Phase 3 is completed. Estimated labor costs of Phase 4 is for evaluation of completed prototype assemblies only. Prototypes often require additional engineering solutions and subsequent prototypes.
