Pretotyping vs Prototyping : Realize the good product

Prototype : Investment in weeks / months

Can we do it ?

Will it work as planned ?

Deliverable: functional prototype

Pretotype : Investment in hours/ days

Users are gonna use it as planned ?

Users will continue to use it ?

Deliverable: Prototype to probe customer

Case Study: Bob’s Rate This Plate App

Let’s assume that Bob is a nutritionist who wants to create a mobile app that analyzes a photo of a meal and returns a nutritional analysis and some kind of score from

A: “Healthy and nutritious” to "F: fast food »

Let’s call this product the Bob’s Rate This Plate app

38 Source: Pretotype it, Alberto Savoia.

Page 39: Pretotyping: Crash Test Your Idea - ITESCIA 2015-2016 (English Version)

Step #1

Validate certain assumptions, constraints of use by personal experimentation

39

Page 40: Pretotyping: Crash Test Your Idea - ITESCIA 2015-2016 (English Version)

Step #2 : The Supa dupa cheap, Lowtech, Mechanical Turk

Since Bob is a nutritionist and he has over 500 clients, he can ask a few of his clients (say, 50 of them, about 10%) if they’d be interested in participating in a one month experiment

Dear Mary,Thank you for helping me test Rate This Plate:Here are your ratings for today:

Breakfast:F (eggs and bacon, c’mon you know better than that)Lunch:B (salad good, blue cheese dressing bad)Dinner:A- (chicken and veggies looked healthy, but you get a minus for that)

Please try to eat some fruits and veggies for the next few meals.Sincerely,Bob

Let’s say that 30 (out of 50) of Bob’s clients agree to do the experiment (ILI = 30/50, or 60%)

40

Page 41: Pretotyping: Crash Test Your Idea - ITESCIA 2015-2016 (English Version)

Step #3 : OLI

"Hey Bob, can you send me my average GPA?"

"If I forget to take a photo can I just send you a description of my meal?"

"Can you send me a menu for each day that will guarantee me an ‘A’?"

"Bob, I don’t have good phone reception in our cafeteria, it sucks that I have to go outdoor to email you the photo – while my food gets cold."

4 22 172

Page 42: Pretotyping: Crash Test Your Idea - ITESCIA 2015-2016 (English Version)

Step #4 : And profitability ?

Are people who have experienced the free app from Bob would pay for this service?

How would they be willing to pay $10 a month? $30 per month?

Some companies who discovered the pretotyping

50

Page 51: Pretotyping: Crash Test Your Idea - ITESCIA 2015-2016 (English Version)

The goal: Produce 1 pretotype before the end of the day

Think about your idea and how you can validate ILI ASAP

If possible, start measuring the ILI

Teams self-organize and share the tasks as they wish.

Restitution is : 10 minutes max with a pitch + Product Demo / Pretotype presentation + ILI measures (even unfinished)

Self-scoring by 5 points from other teams + my rating

The top 3 teams will have bonus points for next assessmenton the Bootstrapping course.

And mostly, I’m here to help you …
