Take the idea out to people who might be using it Offer them several prototypes so they are more willing to criticise/compare.
Speak with… People from a group/area that’s different from the one where you did your initial
research (verification).
Some of the people you initially spoke with.
Variety of stakeholders: manufacturers, distributors, etc.
What are our blind spots?
Collecting feedback

Thirds
Ideal people who are successful, adopt new technologies quickly
Extreme users who above average use, especially resistant, or exhibit

People who are in between or more ‘average’

The internet
Other teams
