Direct Answer / Quick Summary
At MathxMedia & Tech, MVP planning follows a 4-step framework: 1) Defining the single core problem, 2) Stripping 70% of non-essential features, 3) Designing the database entity schema and wireframes, and 4) Specifying fixed milestone deliverables. This eliminates 90% of software build delays.

1. The 70/30 Feature Pruning Rule
Most software projects fail because founders try to build v5.0 of their vision before testing v1.0. We ruthlessly prune features until only the core value engine remains.
2. Database Schema First, Code Second
Before writing frontend React components, we design the PostgreSQL database schema. A clean relational data model guarantees speed, scalability, and clean API integration.
