Full definition: [[fixed-floor-plates|Fixed floor plates]]. A Sub-Prototype originates when a design collaborator is engaged for a specific Development Site: as part of onboarding, the collaborator first comments on the base Prototype, then develops the site's Sub-Prototype in line with it. The adaptation is bounded to a defined set of variables — building orientation, site latitude, parking layout, and structural system — and never extends to the Prototype's underlying economics, which remain fixed regardless of which Sub-Prototype variant a given site produces. **Test Sites.** The initial deployments used to validate a new Prototype or a new Development Market before the Rollout Program commits to that market at scale. **Top 400 Regional Markets.** The ranked shortlist of the highest-scoring Regional Markets in a given territory, produced by Woodfine's co-location scoring methodology.
