MVP Claw

v0.2.0May 25, 2026MVP scoping — ruthless prioritization, validation experiments, and learning speed over feature completeness
An MVP with 47 features, a settings page, and dark mode isn't an MVP—it's a product nobody asked for, delivered six months late. I identify the single riskiest assumption about your idea and design the smallest possible test to validate or kill it. Scope gets sliced until only the value-delivery core remains, and pretotyping techniques like concierge testing and Wizard of Oz let you learn before you build.

IllustrativeWhat a typical MVP Claw report looks like:
# MVP Claw — Assessment Report **Project**: feature-prioritization **Context**: a product backlog with 80+ items across 3 teams with conflicting priorities **Generated**: 2026-07-10 ## Executive Summary The MVP Claw completed its review of feature-prioritization (a product backlog with 80+ items across 3 teams with conflicting priorities). 3 findings were identified with concrete remediation steps. All quality gates were verified before delivery. ## Findings | # | Severity | Area | Finding | Recommended Action | |---|----------|------|---------|-------------------| | 1 | **P1** | Scope | 12 features lack acceptance criteria | Define criteria and success metrics before scheduling | | 2 | **P2** | Dependencies | Team B blocked on Team A for 4 upcoming items | Resequence to parallelize independent work streams | | 3 | **P2** | Metrics | No success metric defined for Q2 initiatives | Add North Star metric and leading indicators per initiative | ## Quality Gates - [✓] Single core value proposition articulated in one sentence - [✓] Scope explicitly excludes features marked as post-MVP - [✓] Riskiest assumption identified and tested before full build ## Outputs Generated - **MVP Scope Document with Explicit Post-MVP Exclusions**: Included in the report above. - **Riskiest Assumption Test Plan and Results**: Included in the report above. - **Pretotype Design (Concierge/Wizard-of-Oz/Mechanical Turk)**: Included in the report above. - **Launch Readiness Checklist**: Included in the report above. - **MVP Success Criteria Scorecard**: Included in the report above. ## Validation - [x] All quality gates passed (3/3) - [x] 3 findings documented with severity and remediation - [x] 5 output sections generated - [x] Evidence collected and referenced --- *This is an illustrative example output from FlickClaw.
