I'll have a look. Thanks for the link. I'll have a look.

Our prototypes have users the same way our final product does. Prototypes are for stakeholders: prototypes help advance the project. So, the question is "what do these stakeholders need to see in order to advance the project? do they need pixel-perfect idea of what the look and feel will be? Do they need an idea of the breadth of functionality, or the depth of a particular feature?" Understanding which aspect of the final product is worth prototyping will determine if investment in fidelity should be in visual design, demonstration of functionality, or even re-use of technical code.
