Official GOV.UK Service Manual guidance on using alpha to prototype, test ideas, and decide which solution is worth taking forward.

Riskiest assumption prototype
A prototype is most useful when it focuses on the riskiest assumption instead of recreating the entire product.
GOV.UK alpha guidance recommends testing ideas with prototypes and focusing on the areas that are most challenging.
Throwaway alpha learning
Alpha work should be judged by what it teaches, not by whether the prototype survives into production.
GOV.UK alpha guidance treats alpha as a phase for testing different ideas and expects many tested ideas or code paths not to continue.
