## Prototyping > All complex systems that work evolved from simpler systems that worked. If you want to build a complex system that works, build a simpler system first, and then improve it over time. > \- Gall’s Law 1. This stage is focused on problem solving, and making sure all of the base systems interact the way we think they do — and identifying anything that doesn’t early. ### Early Builds 1. Initial sims and logic with placeholder / low-poly geo 2. Looking for pain points early 3. Test the full pipeline to make sure everything works smoothly 4. Then increase the level of complexity and test again (repeat based on project). ### Kanban 1. At this point I feel I have a decent enough understanding to build out an initial task list ![[Pasted image 20221110215749.png]] ### Problem Solving 1. Internal Wiki (174 Newspapers!) ![[Pasted image 20221110221538.png]] 1. Built the way I think, based on years of solving these kinds of problems 2. Often can find solutions much faster ![[Pasted image 20221110222027.png]] 1. External Research 1. Digging through documentation and looking at other sources online.
