RAD-TECH-0001 Prototyping

106. Engineering Validation

Every prototype activity should produce measurable engineering evidence.

Subjective impressions should never replace objective measurements.

Examples of validation activities include:

  • comparing different material combinations
  • measuring soil moisture distribution
  • evaluating water retention over time
  • analysing deep percolation
  • monitoring root-zone conditions
  • verifying sensor accuracy
  • measuring communication reliability
  • validating analytical predictions

Each experiment should define clear success criteria before testing begins.

This approach improves repeatability while supporting future scientific documentation.
