Vinčić
To reach a goal you have to know where it is, in our case, we
need to define what we mean by MVP.

Look up each word in a dictionary and you will find several
definitions for each word. I have selected the following;

in a given case; hence, a thing of small
consequence

- 2: Commodities offered for sale; "good business depends on
having good merchandise"; "that store offers a variety of
products"

the real thing? the software, how do these words translate
into written source code and final software.
