Yeah, the idea is clear. You're "integrating early" and "failing fast" and once you've understood enough about the problem you can design and optimize the right custom tool to make it more accurate, consistent, cost-effective.

To be fair, it's a micro approach of the way to approach projects rapidly where instead of trying to design too much upfront, identify what are the real value producing goals, the risks in the middle that you can foresee and get hands on in a time-boxed manner to de-risk the individual points or understand what's not possible. Then you can actually come up with the right explanations for the design.
