If You Buy It, We'll Build It - Combining Design Sprints & Pretotypes
summary
Combines Google Design Sprint steps with Alberto Savoia pretotyping methods to get buying signals before building, claiming prototypes should cost near zero and be testable in 24 hours and reminding that 80% failure needs mitigation. Uses Miro, lean canvas, lightning demos, sketches, and pretotype types like fake door and one‑night stand or Pinocchio wooden mocks to collect real behavior data not opinions. Requires a facilitator, a decider, experts and diverse team, and aims to deliver tight tests that produce go/no‑go decisions (example threshold shown: 5% conversion).
