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.”
