4. “MVP” becomes ambiguous
Avoid MVP in this framework unless it is explicitly qualified.
Marty has historically used MVP in the discovery sense as a test/prototype, while many engineering organizations use MVP to mean “first production version.” Those are very different things.
Clearer terms are available:
Discovery prototype
↓
productization commitment
↓
initial production slice
↓
subsequent production slicesFor Wallet as an example:
Discovery prototype:
Can one-shot natural language reduce capture effort?
Initial production slice:
Common, determinate expense capture.
Later slices:
Ambiguous expenses
Income
Transfers
Wider reference/language coverageThat vocabulary removes a lot of ambiguity.
