The first version should prove one thing

A lot of projects start with a huge feature list. I’d rather identify the one assumption that could make the whole idea fail, then build the smallest version that tests it.

If it’s a marketplace, can two people complete a transaction? If it’s a tool, can someone finish the core task? If it’s a community product, can a new member understand the value and take the next step?

I built BrandForge’s project chat to help people get that thinking into a brief before they hire someone. You can try describing your own idea and see what it surfaces.

I put the relevant page here: https://brandforge.gg
