Overview
An MVP is a focused test that allows us to validate a single, high-impact feature rather than building a full product from day one. At Future Foundry, we use this method to determine whether one core functionality is compelling enough to drive customer engagement and adoption. This experiment is particularly valuable when testing early-stage SaaS products, new platform features, or innovative service models, where building the entire ecosystem upfront is too risky. If the single feature drives strong engagement, usage, or purchase intent, it justifies further investment

Process
We identify the most critical feature—the one that delivers immediate value to customers. Instead of building an entire product, we create a lightweight version of just that feature, ensuring it is functional enough for real-world use. Once live, we measure adoption rates, frequency of use, and customer feedback to determine whether the feature solves a real problem. If engagement is high, we build around it. If it struggles to gain traction, we reassess before scaling development.

Requirements
This test requires a clear hypothesis about the feature’s value, a lightweight development approach, and a structured way to track user engagement and feedback. The goal is to test the feature’s standalone viability before committing to a full product roadmap.
