Name the outcome
One specific, observable outcome anchors every filtering decision.
OUTCOME-FIRST FEATURE FILTER
Outcome-First Feature Filter
Define your MVP outcome, then check whether a candidate feature actually supports it — with a keep/cut recommendation.
- Uses your inputs in a transparent calculation
- Instant result with practical next steps
- No signup required
Planning guidance only. Validate important decisions with customer evidence and your delivery team.

Build your result
Complete every field. The result updates only when you choose Calculate.
How it works
Test direct support
Does the feature cause the outcome, help it, or have no connection at all?
Check what breaks without it
If the outcome still works fully without the feature, it's a strong cut candidate.

Frequently asked questions
What makes a good MVP outcome statement?
One specific, observable result — not a vague goal like 'users are happy' but something you could verify happened.
Should every feature get run through this filter?
Yes — running the full candidate list through the same test keeps scope decisions consistent.
What if a feature is required by only one customer?
That's a signal it may not belong in a broadly-scoped MVP outcome — consider a custom add-on instead.
