When I was a kid, my UI/UX class taught me that #prototypes should preferably be made by hand on paper so as not to give prospective customers the impression that the product was much further ahead than it really was.

The reason is that for a non-techie it's hard to distinguish between a #mockup using proper widgets and the final application, so showing up with a computer-based mockup would make it hard to grasp that spending 20 hours on the mockup didn't mean the application would be ready in 40.

It was essentially a trick to counter-act the #Pareto principle: that 20% of the work takes 80% of the effort.

Making mockups using a confabulation engine ("#AI") goes in the complete opposite direction. Good luck explaining to customers that while it looks like the application is 90% done in 10 hours, you really have more than 90% of the effort left.

Using the pareto analysis allows the opportunity to show, through data, the issues in order to address them. #problemsolving #paretoanalysis #pareto #fix #rootcause #problem #business #tools

I'm the #CEO of a multi million dollar #VC funded #startup. Due to the #Pareto Principle, which tells me we only need 20% of people for the second 80% of the result, I have deducted that we can fire 80% of our employees. #quickMaths
