# MVP {% hint style="warning" %} _{MVP is} _**not** _{a magic “type a dream, get a company” button. It is a} _{**hosted product**} _{path tied to a} _{**written specification**} _{that Discover must produce first.} {% endhint %}

_{Preconditions (check before you feel stuck)}

| Symptom | Likely meaning | First move | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | _Dropdown: _{**No ideas with an MVP build spec yet**} | _{Discover has not produced the spec artifact for any idea} | _{Go back to Discover, finish spec work there first} | | _{Message about Neon key} | _{Database automation is blocked} | _Open _**Settings**_{, then} _{**Integrations**}_{, add Neon, run} _**Test** | | _{Name unavailable} | _{Slug collision on the hostname pattern the product uses} | _{Pick a new deployment name and re check} |

_{Modal fields you should read slowly}

Field	Why it matters
_{Validated idea}	_{The contract anchor for the whole build}
_{MVP app name}	_{Feeds hostname rules the UI explains in plain language}

{% hint style="info" %} _{When the product says a build is} _**queued** _{and work continues in the background, treat that as a} _**feature**_{, not abandonment. Read the exact banner text before you start a duplicate run.} {% endhint %} ***

_{Three habits}

{% stepper %} {% step %} _**First** ^_Read ^{_{**provision**}} ^{_{states out loud once: queued, running, failed. Teams that narrate status ship calmer.}} {% endstep %} {% step %} _**Second** ^{_{If a build is already deployed for an idea, delete first only when you mean it. Destruction should be intentional.}} {% endstep %} {% step %} _**Third** ^{_{Stripe and other forwarded keys belong to}} ^{_**Settings**} ^{_{discipline. MVP inherits what you already saved and tested.}} {% endstep %} {% endstepper %} ***

Ask yourself

_{What is the first paid action a user must take inside the shipped MVP for this idea to count as “real”?}
_{If you cannot name it, you are not ready to argue about success metrics.}
