Technical Spotlight: Why Your Prototype is Only 10% of the Journey
A prototype is only the beginning—roughly 10% of the journey from concept to market-ready invention. TS Blackwell-Hart breaks down why independent inventors must move beyond building to rigorous validation, testing, and disciplined methodology to bridge the gap between idea and reality. Discover how the BH Methodology turns prototypes into products that can scale and succeed.
