A two-week MVP isn’t about building less — it’s about building the right less. The failure mode is almost always scope creep disguised as “just one more thing.”
Questions we always ask
- What does a user need to do on day one for this to be useful?
- What’s the smallest data model that supports that workflow?
- What can we fake, stub, or defer without breaking the core loop?
Questions we deliberately skip
- “What will version two look like?” — you’ll learn more in two weeks than any planning session
- “Should we support every edge case?” — not yet
- “Can we make it perfect?” — no, and that’s the point
The goal is a working system that generates real feedback, not a polished demo that answers hypothetical questions.
