Reverse engineering seems like an odd choice here, right?

Interface analysis sounds familiar, but I can't recall if it really helps in visualizing the end result like prototyping does.

I feel like observation could be useful, but it seems more about gathering data than actually visualizing the final product.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about reverse engineering being used to understand existing products. Would that help visualize a new one?

Alright, time to put my consolidation skills to the test. I'll start by calculating the goodwill on acquisition, then track the changes in the non-controlling interest over the years. Gotta stay focused on the numbers.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of the options. I'll need to re-read the question and the code to make sure I fully understand what's being asked.

Prototyping is the way to go. Unless the customer wants to stare at me through a two-way mirror while I work. That's a bit too 'Observation' for my liking.

Prototyping all the way. I'm not about to build a time machine and 'reverse engineer' the final product. That's just crazy talk.
