MVP

MVP goals, success criteria, and explicit out-of-scope items.

MVP definition

Stakeholder overview: /mvp. Full product context: Product.

Goals

  1. A learner can complete intake, get matched (or admin-overridden), book/run coaching, submit evidence, and publish a public profile.
  2. A coach can complete setup and appear match-ready (track + availability + active coaching offering).
  3. An employer can register, create an org, obtain seats (manual invoice → admin mark paid), search verified talent, shortlist, request intros, and record a placement.
  4. Marketing and nav sell CMH — not “500+ courses / LMS.”
  5. Public proof pages (/u/[slug], /credentials/[code]) are shareable and distinct from /verify.
