• redesign

• throw the prototype away

• ignore the test and say it worked well.

It can be frustrating when a prototype does not test how we want it to...but it also shows us...

• this is just something that will not work, let's try something else.

• this is never going to work.

• we should just give up

• let's build the same thing again!
