How it works
Calculate support load
Partner count and cadence are converted to expected session hours and compared with team capacity.
Define the exchange
The result states partner commitments, MVPHub-side commitments and a decision checkpoint.
Frequently asked questions
Is a design partner the same as a beta user?
Not necessarily. A design partner makes a clearer commitment to repeated access, workflow evidence and product feedback in exchange for close involvement.
Should design partners receive discounts or free access?
Compensation is a commercial choice. Make the exchange explicit and avoid promising roadmap control or unsupported long-term terms.
How many partners should an MVP use?
Choose a number the team can support directly. A few engaged, comparable partners are usually more useful than a large passive list.
Can partner requests define the entire roadmap?
No. Treat requests as evidence about underlying problems and compare patterns across partners and target strategy.
