SaaS MVP & Product-Market-Fit Strategy Skill

Overview

Pre-PMF SaaS plans need a different discipline than scale-stage plans. The product is unproven, the market is hypothesised, and the founder is the operating system. This skill installs the MVP-to-PMF strategy: define what PMF means, what tests it, what cadences feed it, and what gates the company passes through (Walling: MVP → PMF → Escape Velocity).

Use When

• A SaaS / ICT plan is pre-PMF (no clear retention signal; no repeatable channel; ARR <$200k)
• A plan claims PMF but lacks the evidence
• A founder is deciding what to build in the next 90 days
• An accelerator / pre-seed investor is asking what milestones unlock the next round

Do Not Use When

• ARR > $500k with sustained retention — the plan is past PMF; use scale-stage skills
• The company is in a paid pilot with one customer — that's pre-MVP
