MVP Plan

# MVP Plan — [Project Name]

**Updated:** [DATE]
**Target ship date:** [14-30 days from now]

## The question this MVP exists to answer
- (One sentence. If you can't write it, you don't have an MVP.)

## The core user action
- The one thing a user does that determines if this works:
- How we'll know they did it (the metric):
- Target: __ users perform this action in week 1

## Must-have features (cut to 3 or fewer)
1.
2.
3.

## Explicit nice-to-have features (NOT shipping in MVP)
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

## Things I won't build, ever (until proven otherwise)
1.
2.
3.

## What gets cut if we slip
- (Name the feature you'll drop if the timeline slips. Decide now, not in the panic moment.)

## Tech / no-code decision
- Building with: [code / no-code / manual / Notion + Stripe / etc.]
- Why this choice: [smallest thing that works]

## Launch criteria
- One real user has completed the core action: [ ]
- Payment / pricing is live: [ ]
- I have a way to talk to the first 10 users: [ ]
- I know the metric I'll watch in week 1: [ ]

## After launch — the 7-day decision
At day 7, look at the data:
- ___ users tried it
- ___ users completed the core action
- ___ told me unprompted that they want more
- ___ paid

If all four are positive → keep building.
If one is negative → fix that.
If two or more are negative → don't build the next thing yet; talk to users.
