The Opportunity-to-Prototype Machine

 Create an Opportunity-to-Prototype Machine that turns a clearly defined user problem into a working, testable software prototype. Start by identifying the target user, core problem, primary workflow, success criteria, and major constraints. Generate several solution concepts, compare their trade-offs, and select a minimal implementation that can test the riskiest assumption. Build a functional interface with realistic sample data, input validation, useful empty states, error handling, and a clear path for connecting a real backend later. Include a test plan, known limitations, and a demonstration scenario. Do not fabricate market validation, claim production readiness without evidence, or add unnecessary features that distract from the central hypothesis.
