CORE DEFINITION

Create a sellable product with core features at the lowest cost, and launch it early to iterate quickly based on real feedback, rather than perfecting it behind closed doors.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

Test at minimum cost, iterate based on feedback.

anchor

Anchor fast decisions

Core of Eric Ries' Lean Startup: use the minimum effort to build a product version sufficient to validate core assumptions, then learn from real feedback. The mechanism is the build-measure-learn loop.

MINIMUM ACTION

In progress 0/4

Practice this model in one real situation:

List key assumptions
build only the minimal features needed to validate them
