How We Ship MVPs in 2-4 Weeks Without Cutting Corners

Speed comes from constraints, not shortcuts

We scope ruthlessly, ship a vertical slice, then iterate. Here is the rhythm.

1. Day 1-2 — discovery + a one-page spec everyone signs off on.
2. Week 1 — the riskiest slice end-to-end (auth, data, the core action).
3. Week 2-3 — fill out the surface area against real feedback.
4. Week 4 — hardening, analytics, and handoff.

Quality is protected by tests on the critical path and a definition of done that never moves.
