A prototype is an early test model — cheap and quick to build — that shows whether an idea works before the real thing is made. Engineers test prototypes fairly: they change only one thing at a time, keep everything else the same, measure rather than guess, repeat each test and write every result down. Then they compare results, work out the mean (average) and improve the design.
