Scope Surgery
Everything that doesn't earn its place in version one gets cut, so the one thing that matters gets protected.
You don't need the whole product yet. You need proof, the one part that decides if the rest gets built.


The business need and the primary user get named first; features come after, not before.
Priorities get decided fast: keep, delay, or cut entirely, before a single line of code exists.
Real users touch a real product, not a prototype; built to prove the concept, not to impress in a demo.
The MVP was never the finish line. It's the evidence, the feedback, the adoption signal, for what actually gets built next.
