Hi Todd -
Not to skew the topic too much, but have you been able to move the
prototype into something designers and developers can directly build
upon? Or, have you found the prototype's code to be "throwaway"?
(Which is not to say valueless, but simply that the code needs to be
rewritten in the final piece.)

While not typical for the industry, our prototypes are production
quality code and when we hand them off, engineering has been putting
them into production w/very little rework.
However, I wouldn't let that prevent you from trying — 90% or more of
the prototypes built in the software industry are throwaways. There's
still a lot of benefit that comes from throwaway prototypes.
Cheers!

In theory, theory and practice are the same.
In practice, they are not.
