Write the smallest job
Describe one user, one painful task, one successful outcome, and the data or permissions the first version must not handle.
Tool used
Figma Make
Expected output
A focused prototype brief.
Generate the interaction
Create a clickable flow with only the essential screens and clear empty, error, and success states.
Tool used
Figma Make
Expected output
A testable interaction prototype.
Build a private MVP
Create the working version with minimal roles, data structure, and access controls; keep it private until tested.
Tool used
Base44
Expected output
A controlled MVP link.
Prepare a clear test surface
Polish the key landing page, instructions, and primary task path without adding unvalidated features.
Tool used
Readdy
Expected output
A participant-ready test experience.
Capture behavior and feedback
Collect task success, drop-off, confusion points, and one open response; prioritize only repeated evidence.
Tool used
Tally
Expected output
A user-test evidence set.
Prompt templates
MVP scope guard
Turn this product idea into a smallest testable MVP. Include target user, job, must-have flow, non-goals, risky assumptions, data restrictions, success metric, and 5 user-test questions. Idea: [paste]Evidence-based iteration
Review these user-test notes and events. Separate repeated evidence from isolated requests. Recommend the next smallest experiment, what to leave unchanged, and a success metric. Evidence: [paste]Automation ideas
- Send a test survey after a participant completes the key task
- Tag feedback by task and severity
- Create a weekly evidence review rather than a feature-request dump
Common mistakes
- Generating too much before the first test
- Collecting opinions without task evidence
- Giving test users broad access to real data
