The idea is simple.The evidence is not.
DryLah! focuses on one household task inside a much larger dengue-control system. Explore the public evidence, what we heard from users, what the prototype showed and what still needs to be tested.

Six weeks, three gates, and what would make us redesign.
06Methodology
Every claimcarries a label.
Public figures set context. Project research is what we collected ourselves. Product claims are marked by how far the prototype has actually gone.
Supported by a linked external source.
Collected by the team, such as the 12 interviews.
Directly shown by the current physical prototype.
Part of the design but not yet demonstrated.
An answer that could change the design, price, launch or decision to continue.
A drawing or animation explaining intent.
