Creating an Aura of Inevitability

Building a strong prototype is essential for translating design concepts into production realities. A notable example discussed is Vincent's experience at Figma, where initial ideas for a text search feature lacked buy-in until a working prototype was developed. This tangible demonstration effectively showcased the functionality of selection search, image search, and text search, making it difficult for stakeholders to dismiss the concept.
