A useful MVP is a product people can open, sign in to, and use. It is not a slide, a Figma file, or an unshipped repo.
One delivery path
Web, mobile, auth, API, and launch belong in the same scope. When they are split too early, the first production week becomes a glue job.
What I ship first
- A real user flow, not a catalog of screens
- Auth and data that survive the first week
- Store or web launch that can be checked by a stranger
The point is not speed for its own sake. The point is a product that can be used, measured, and improved after it is live.
