MVP and MVT

• An MVP is a minimal functional product built to validate what customers actually want by observing real usage.
• An MVT (often called Minimum Viable Experiment/Test) is a small, fast, low‑cost test designed to validate a specific assumption before you build anything substantial.

Minimum Viable Product (MVP) A simplified but working version of a product that early users can interact with. Purpose: validate product‑market fit and gather real behavioural feedback.

Minimum Viable Test (MVT / MVE) A quick experiment to validate a single assumption — often before building an MVP. Examples: landing page, survey, fake‑door button, email test.

• MVT = “Should we even build this?”
• MVP = “We think this is worth building — now let’s test the simplest working version.”
