How it works

1

Check four common gap sources

Each screen is checked against the four things most likely to be missing at handoff time: complete states, final copy, error handling, and responsive behavior.

2

Score readiness per screen

A screen with all four checks passed is fully handoff-ready; each missing dimension lowers its readiness and is called out by name.

3

Rank screens by risk

Screens with the most gaps are surfaced first, since they carry the highest risk of developers guessing and getting it wrong.

Frequently asked questions

What if a screen genuinely has no error states to define?

Mark it "yes" only if you have explicitly confirmed there are no error paths — a screen with a form or network call almost always has at least one error case.

Is a screen with all four checks passed guaranteed bug-free?

No — this checks whether the design communicated enough information, not whether the eventual implementation is correct. It reduces guessing, not all risk.

Should I run this before or after design review?

Run it right before handoff, after design review, as a final gate — catching gaps here is cheaper than catching them mid-development.

Can I use this for screens still in progress?

You can, but expect low scores — this is meant to gate completed screens, not track in-progress design work.

MVPHub targets the specific gaps that most often cause handoff guesswork. A generic QA checklist may cover broader ground but rarely ranks screens by handoff risk specifically.
