feedback
Let's say you would like to get feedback from your clients but you clients are not familiar with your product, therefore, can't provide any. What you do is create a prototype for them to play with and hopefully that will help them form opinions about the product. How do i put that in a sentence?
We created a prototype to ____ (attract/solicit) feedback ?
Thanks.

I guess I'm avoiding your question, but IMO "prototype" is not the word. " Maybe not. When you say the client is not familiar with your product, that implies that the product has reached some level of perfection.

- A prototype is understood to be an original, at least by me.
- When you build a new prototype, you're creating a new design.

New2grammarWe created a prototype to ____ (attract/solicit) feedback ?To me, this is too condensed to be practical, unless considerable correspondence has already occurred. (And I still object to "create a prototype." If you create a prototype for a client, he will be the first client to ever see your product. A prototype typically precedes R & D.

I thought I could get by without providing the full context. I'm updating my resume and as far as I know, it has to be concise in point form. Yes, you are right about the RnD. We did spend a number of years developing the product. We also created a prototype of the product to get feedback from potential customers. I want to highlight that point since I was involved in the prototyping.

Just between you and me, I think confusion is very useful in this sort of work.
Now knowing the full story, I still think "prototype" is the wrong word. I've never heard it used in that way. I wonder what GG would say, as a graduate of a major engineering university?? (Dang, she's on vacation.)
- A.
Edit. Did you give this "working model" to potential customers be

AvangiWriting a concise (condensed) version of a complex tale requires considerable skill.I can't agree more.
Just to give you an idea of what I meant by concise (I made an inconsiderate assumption. I assumed everyone knows engineering to a certain level, therefore, the format of enginering resume is common)
