How to Create the Prototype

A prototype application can be built in three stages, as follows:

1. Stage I: Building the basic prototype
2. Stage II: Adding process logic and data retrieval
3. Stage III: Refining the maps and processes

Each progressive stage contains enhancements that more closely approximate the final application. Note that it is possible to demonstrate the prototype online as soon as the first stage is completed successfully.
