A prototype is a design or simulation used for testing usability, while an MVP is a functional product released to real users for market validation.
Not always. If the technology is proven, you can skip PoC and move directly to a prototype.
Typically 1–4 weeks. The goal is quick feasibility validation, not building features.
It must solve at least one real user problem and deliver enough value that users are willing to try it, even if it lacks advanced features.
Yes—if the MVP doesn't find traction, it's feedback that the market doesn't want the solution in its current form. The key is to pivot and iterate.
Popular tools include Figma, Sketch, and InVision for digital products, or 3D printing and CAD tools for hardware prototypes.
Not at all. MVP thinking applies to any industry — software, hardware, services, even consumer products. The principle is the same: test small before scaling big.
