Minimum Viable Product Generator
An MVP scoping generator helps you define an experiment around the one assumption you most need to test. Enter your product idea and its riskiest assumption, and it returns a template with a falsifiable hypothesis, the single core job the MVP must do, a build-versus-cut list, an MVP type (concierge, landing page, Wizard of Oz, or single-feature build), and success criteria telling you whether to continue, pivot, or stop. Founders and product managers use it to ship something small but real fast and learn from actual user behaviour. An MVP is both minimum and viable: stripped to essentials yet real enough to produce a genuine signal. Name the riskiest assumption honestly, cut everything that does not test it, and set the deciding number before you start building.

Use Cases
- •Scoping an MVP around the riskiest assumption
- •Deciding what to build versus cut for v1

- •Writing a falsifiable hypothesis to test
- •Setting clear continue, pivot, or stop criteria
Tips

- →Write a falsifiable hypothesis with a clear signal.
- →Decide continue, pivot, or stop criteria up front.
FAQ
What makes a good MVP?
It is both minimum and viable — small enough to ship fast, yet real enough to produce a genuine learning signal. A good MVP tests the riskiest assumption with the least build, and sometimes that means no code at all.
Which MVP type should I choose?
Pick the cheapest one that still gives a real signal. A landing page tests demand, a concierge or Wizard-of-Oz MVP delivers value manually to test willingness to use it, and a single-feature build tests a specific behaviour. Match the type to your riskiest assumption.
Why name the riskiest assumption explicitly?
The riskiest assumption is the one that, if wrong, kills the product. Making it explicit keeps scope from creeping and ensures every build decision is judged against one clear question: does this help test that assumption or not?
Why set success criteria before you build?
Deciding the number that means continue, pivot, or stop before you launch prevents rationalising weak results afterward. It turns the MVP into a real decision tool rather than a sunk-cost defence of something you already built.
What goes on the cut list?
Everything that does not directly test the riskiest assumption — nice-to-have features, polish, edge-case handling, and admin tools can all wait. The build list contains only what is needed to test the hypothesis and nothing more.
