Use “Innovation” Carefully
Final concept check

Your prototype may show innovative thinking without yet being a proven market innovation.

You can accurately describe it as an adaptation, invention attempt, improvement concept, or prototype. Under the MYP related-concept definition, successful diffusion/adoption is what turns an invention into innovation.
