prototyped
Made initial version
Prototyped is the past tense of prototype, meaning to create an early working model of something—typically a product, design, or system—to test its feasibility before full development.
We prototyped the app in two weeks.
The term is standard in engineering, software development, and design fields, where building prototypes is a core step in the creative process.
