How to review a non-structural prototype
Review your prototype against the brief you set. Check its dimensions, shape, usability, finish and how easily people understand its purpose. Invite users to handle or inspect the sample only when the materials and activity are suitable and supervised. Record feedback, observations and the changes you want to make next.
Keep each criterion tied to evidence. A prototype may help test appearance or fit, but it cannot by itself demonstrate structural capacity, fire performance, product safety or manufacturing compliance. Refer those decisions to the qualified specialist and testing route required for the actual application.
