Prompt:

I need your help defining a focused Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for my [PRODUCT/SERVICE TYPE]. I want to validate my core business hypotheses as efficiently as possible. PRODUCT CONTEXT: - Product concept: [BRIEF DESCRIPTION] - Target market: [TARGET USERS/CUSTOMERS] - Problem statement: [SPECIFIC PROBLEM BEING SOLVED] - Proposed solution: [HOW YOU PLAN TO SOLVE IT] - Current status: [IDEATION/PROTOTYPE/EARLY DEVELOPMENT] CRITICAL BUSINESS HYPOTHESES: - [HYPOTHESIS 1] - [HYPOTHESIS 2] - [HYPOTHESIS 3] RESOURCE CONSTRAINTS: - Development timeline: [EXPECTED TIMELINE] - Team composition: [TEAM SIZE/EXPERTISE] - Budget: [AVAILABLE BUDGET] - Technical limitations: [ANY TECHNICAL CONSTRAINTS] Please provide a comprehensive MVP definition including: 1. Core Feature Identification * 3-5 essential features that must be included in the MVP * For each feature, explain: - Exact implementation requirements (what makes it "done") - Direct connection to which hypothesis it validates - Implementation complexity (Low/Medium/High) - Why this feature cannot be eliminated or further simplified * Features explicitly excluded from MVP (with rationale for each) 2. Success Metrics Framework * Specific measurable indicators for each core feature * Minimum thresholds that would validate each hypothesis * Data collection methodology for each metric * Timeframe for meaningful validation 3. User Feedback Strategy * Recommended approaches to gather quality feedback * Specific questions to ask users about each feature * Framework for distinguishing signal from noise in feedback * Criteria for determining if a pivot is necessary 4. MVP Development Roadmap * Suggested implementation sequence with dependencies * Testing strategy for each component * Launch approach appropriate for this product type * Key decision points throughout the process Please be brutally minimalist in your recommendations. Challenge any assumptions about what features are "necessary" and help me focus exclusively on what will validate my core hypotheses with minimal time and resource investment.
