MVP Scoping

Define the smallest thing you can build that actually tests the bet — and cut everything that does not.

When to use

• A venture thesis is ready and needs a first build.
• Scope is creeping and the MVP is drifting into a v1.

Steps

1. Restate the one assumption the MVP must test.
2. List only the capabilities that test it; defer the rest.
3. Choose the fastest path to a real user experience.
4. Define the metric that will read the result.
5. Set a hard timebox and what "done" means.

Output

An MVP scope: the assumption, the minimal capability list, the success metric, and a timebox, following the [[Studio standards]]. Ready to build.
