Develop a prototype considering fitness for purpose in the broadest sense
NZQA suppresses grade rates for low-cohort standards.
You'll design and build a working prototype (a test version of something) and check whether it actually does what it's supposed to do. You'll test it, get feedback from people who might use it, and decide what changes to make based on real evidence. The "broadest sense" means you need to think about not just whether it works technically, but also whether it's safe, ethical, sustainable, and culturally appropriate.
You build a working prototype, test it, gather some feedback, and explain some of your decisions to keep or change it based on how well it works.
You evaluate how your chosen materials, components and techniques work together, and show how the testing and feedback shaped your refining process to improve the prototype.
You use evidence from ongoing testing and stakeholder feedback strategically to optimize (perfect) your prototype, and provide a full justification of why it meets the brief when you consider the full picture (technical, social, ethical, environmental, safety, cultural factors).
