What needs to be prototyped?*

What is the primary purpose of the prototype?

Does it need to work, or just look the part?

A looks-like model and a fully functional unit are very different builds at very different costs — this one answer changes the quote more than any other.

Looks-like only — appearance model or mock-up, no working functionWorks-like — proves the core function, finish doesn't matterBoth — looks like the final product AND demonstrates the functionNot sure — want a recommendation

Beyond that, what does it have to prove?

Tick anything that applies. Each one adds engineering, so it is useful to know up front.

Fit, ergonomics and size on a real body or in a real spaceDurability or field testingElectronics and firmware behaviourA user test with real customersRegulatory or lab testingNothing beyond the above

Where and how will it be used?

Indoors, outdoors, wet, high heat, on the body, in a vehicle — anything that constrains materials.

When do you need this done?

Hard deadline — I'll give the date belowAs soon as possibleWithin 1–2 monthsFlexible

How are you planning to fund the development work?

I have funds available and am prepared to pay for professional development servicesMy company has an approved development / R&D budgetI have committed investor or grant fundingI am currently raising funds and need help determining the required budgetI am looking for a development partner in exchange for equity, royalties, or future profitsI do not currently have funding available

What budget range are you working with?

A range is fine. It tells us what is realistic to propose — nothing here is a commitment.
