02 · Build a first version

Make a small board that exposes practical matching constraints.

I have an idea. What should I make first?

01 / Understand it

Create a small set of fictional offers and requests with at least one important constraint.

02 / See it in context
Meet AminaCommunity facility coordinator

Amina makes fictional offers and requests with quantities and collection conditions, including a deliberately incompatible case.

Amina and every example here are prepared learning material, not a real case or an AI-generated result.

My first-version build plan

  1. Choose a limited purpose

    Show how people could find and compare relevant listings. Leave transactions, inspections, and impact claims outside scope.

    You produce
    A purpose and limits.
    Worth reviewing with
    Project coordinator.
    Ask yourself
    What should a user be able to examine first?
  2. Choose a simple format

    Start with a board, sheet, or disconnected mock-up. Consider whether AI categorization is needed to test the concept.

    You produce
    A format and possible AI role.
    Worth reviewing with
    Service designer if available.
    Ask yourself
    Can a manual version reveal the same coordination issue?
  3. Prepare fictional listings

    Include quantities, condition notes, broad locations, and collection dates. Avoid actual private addresses and identify unknowns.

    You produce
    A fictional listing set.
    Worth reviewing with
    Relevant reviewer.
    Ask yourself
    What constraint must not disappear in a summary?
  4. Assemble and review

    Show possible connections with reasons and conflicts. Keep human inspection and agreement explicit.

    You produce
    A reviewed first version.
    Worth reviewing with
    Organizer or relevant materials practitioner.
    Ask yourself
    Does the interface confuse a suggestion with a confirmed exchange?
  5. Make limits visible

    Label simulated features, unconfirmed details, and what a review should examine.

    You produce
    A sample and review questions.
    Worth reviewing with
    Willing suitable reviewers.
    Ask yourself
    What evidence is still needed beyond the mock-up?
04 / Test your thinking
Explore a question · no score

Respect the constraints

The item type matches but collection days conflict. What should the board show?

Every option has an explanation. Open as many as you like — nothing is recorded or scored.

Next: Test and improve

I have a sample. What would help me learn?
