CORE DEFINITION

Develop a product version with minimal cost that just embodies the core value and can obtain feedback from early users.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

Validate assumptions rather than blindly building. Don't aim for a big launch. Before investing significant resources, use MVP to test the market and iterate quickly through feedback (Build-Measure-Learn). The earlier you fail, the lower the cost.

anchor

Anchor fast decisions

Similar to MVP, emphasizing 'feasibility': make a minimal product that is technically runnable and can validate the idea end-to-end, not just a prototype. The mechanism is to validate technical feasibility through a runnable product.
