Evaluations are about what
the prototype might become.

Present–

gap
A carelessly designed evaluation may
inadvertently evaluate wrong futures,
contexts, or user groups,
thereby leading to false conclusions and
expensive design failures.

Margin of tolerance
New mindset for evaluations
1.  Evaluate with the future in mind
2.  Consider the future-contingency of every
methodological choice
3.  Consider how evaluation must be
controlled & staged
4.  Report methodological choices
transparently
5.  Define the margins for projective validity
Thank you!
