According to Sunk CostEffect, as designers spend more time building physical models of their initial ideas, they tend tofixate to the variations of those. Our second controlled study confirms this theory. To infer theseresults in real-life situations, the data from a few industry-sponsored graduate projects and casestudies of development of award-winning innovative products are analyzed qualitatively. Theresults from these qualitative studies show that in real-life design problem solving, buildingprototypes help designers to identify the problems in their ideas and rectify them. At the sametime, building also tends to fixate designers to the variations of their initial ideas, which is
