Use Case

Generate prototype variants for stakeholder alignment

A devtools team needed alignment on a dashboard redesign. They generated three prototype variants, shared feedback links with five stakeholders, and picked a direction in two days. No review meetings. No slide decks. Just async feedback on clickable prototypes.

Typical time lost waiting for design mockups before stakeholders can align on direction

Prototype variants let you align on direction before design work begins

How prototype generation works

Generate variants, share for feedback, compare side by side, and pick a direction. All before design opens Figma.

01

Generate variants from the same spec

Select a PRD or a set of requirements and generate multiple prototype variants in parallel. Each variant interprets the same requirements with a different approach: layout, interaction pattern, or information hierarchy. A devtools team generated three variants of their dashboard redesign in under five minutes, each emphasizing different user workflows.

  • Multiple variants generated in parallel from the same requirements
  • Each variant explores a different design direction
  • Grounded in your actual product data and requirements
  • Generate additional variants any time without starting over

Share public feedback links

Each prototype gets a shareable link that works without a Vantage account. Send it to stakeholders, customers, or anyone whose feedback matters. They can click through the prototype, leave comments on specific screens, and vote on what works. No scheduling a review meeting. No building a slide deck. Just share the link and collect feedback asynchronously.

  • Public links that work without a Vantage account
  • Screen-level commenting for specific feedback
  • Async feedback collection, no meetings required
  • Track who viewed and commented on each variant

Compare A vs B side by side

Open two variants in compare mode to see them side by side. Walk through each screen and see how the same requirement is addressed differently. Feedback and votes from stakeholders are visible on both sides. Mark a winner and move forward with a clear direction before design opens Figma.

  • Side-by-side comparison of any two variants
  • Screen-by-screen walkthrough of differences
  • Stakeholder feedback visible on both sides
  • Mark a winning variant to set direction for design

Feed the winning direction into design

Once a variant is selected, it becomes the reference for the design phase. The prototype links to the requirements it implements, so the designer knows not just what it should look like, but why each screen exists. When the designer has questions about a specific screen, they can trace it back to the requirement and its source data.

  • Selected variant becomes the design reference
  • Each screen links to the requirement it implements
  • Designers can trace decisions to source data
  • Reduces back-and-forth between PM and design

“The generated PRD is one of the best I've seen in the business. Crisp, not too long, to the point and got everything right.”
