Probing and Exploring the Candidates

At this stage, you have multiple prototypes of sacrificial candidate solutions. You have multiple candidates because it is important to have a range of alternatives; they facilitate a more thorough exploration of the problem space. Besides, having alternative candidates helps to avoid falling in love with your sole prototype.

The prototypes are candidates—they are proposals generated to explore the problem space, not be a forerunner of something you build. Calling them “candidates” means that you have a number of them, each one trying to solve the problem in a different way. However, until they are proven, each of them remains a hypothesis, and you are probing to prove whether the hypothesis is true.
