Minimum viable does not mean disposable. The goal is the smallest product that can grow, not the smallest product that can demo.
Get the data model right early
Interfaces are cheap to change. Data models are not. Spending an extra week on entities, relationships, and access rules routinely saves a quarter of rework later.
Real authentication from day one
Bolting authentication and row-level authorization onto a finished product is a rewrite. Building on them from the first commit is a Tuesday.
Ship increments, not milestones
Deploy continuously and put working software in front of users weekly. Feedback that arrives before launch is worth ten times the same feedback afterward.
