A product real people can use
Deployed, on your accounts, with accounts and payments if the question you are testing needs them.
A first version built to be used, not demoed. Small enough to reach real users in one to two months, and structured well enough that the next three features do not require starting again.
An MVP is not a cheaper version of the full product. It is the smallest thing that answers one question you cannot answer any other way — usually whether people will actually use it, and whether they will pay.
So the first job of the scope call is subtraction. We take the feature list you arrive with and ask, for each item, what you would learn if it were missing. Most lists lose half their weight and none of their meaning.
The half we cut is written down rather than deleted, because it becomes the roadmap for the version after this one.

Clean structure and a real database schema, so version two is an extension rather than a rewrite. This is the part cheap MVPs skip and the part that costs most later.
Analytics and conversion events wired up before launch, so you learn something from the first hundred users instead of guessing.
What we cut, what the data says, and what we would build next — yours to keep, whoever builds it.
A fixed quote in USD after the scope call, and the scope call is where the price is actually set — a smaller question is a smaller build.
We would rather quote a build we can finish than win the work and run over. If your budget and your scope do not meet, you will hear that on the call.

Yes, entirely — code, intellectual property and every account. We would rather you keep the option, and the code is written to be readable by whoever comes next.
Then it did its job for a fraction of the cost of finding out after a full build. You still own a working product and a written record of what the users did.
No. We quote a fixed price and deliver against it. That keeps the incentives simple and means we can tell you to build less.
That is the intention. It is built on the architecture we would use anyway, which is why we do not ship throwaway prototypes.
Bring the idea and the feature list. You leave with a shorter list, a fixed price and a date.
