Audit Existing Materials and Select MVP Template
Gather all current product notes, user feedback, wireframes, and business model documentation before mapping them against the standard Bertie MVP Scope Definition template. Audit these inputs to separate validated customer insights from unverified assumptions regarding product requirements.
Establishing a clear baseline of material ensures the venture avoids duplicating past effort while surfacing foundational gaps early. This initial synthesis aligns team knowledge and anchors the MVP scoping process in documented history rather than unbacked opinion.
The founder must present a clean audit log of existing assets alongside a pre-populated Bertie MVP scope template. Every pre-existing assumption included must be flagged with its current evidence tier or marked as an unverified hypothesis.
