What you get

Built by the team behind 100+ shipped apps — the same thinking we bring to paid engagements, free.

Quick Wins / Big Bets / Fill-Ins / Time Sinks

Every feature lands in one of four quadrants by impact and effort — the fastest way to see your real MVP.

MVP line, drawn for you

The tool draws the launch line: what has to be in version one to validate, and what earns its place in V2 with real user feedback.

Time Sinks, exposed

The features that feel essential but quietly eat half your budget get flagged before they wreck your timeline.

Drag, drop, disagree

Move features between quadrants yourself — it's your product. The matrix updates your MVP scope live.

How it works

Three steps. No downloads, no calls required.

STEP 1

List your features

Type them in or paste your list. The tool asks a couple of quick questions per feature.

STEP 2

See the matrix

Features sort by user impact vs. build effort into the four quadrants — instantly visual, instantly arguable.

STEP 3

Lock your MVP

Confirm what launches, what waits, and what gets cut. Export the prioritized list for your team or your build partner.

Bold answers to bolder questions

What's the difference between a Quick Win and a Big Bet?

Quick Wins are high impact, low effort — build them first. Big Bets are high impact, high effort — usually your core differentiator, worth the investment but planned carefully.

Why should I cut features from my MVP?

Most successful apps launched simple. Every deferred feature is money saved, weeks gained, and a real-user data point earned before you commit. V2 built on feedback beats V1 built on guesses.

What counts as a Time Sink?

Features with high effort and low real-world impact — often admin edge cases, over-built settings, or “nice to have” integrations. They feel responsible to build; they're usually not.

Can my whole team use it together?

Yes — run it on a call, argue about quadrants, and land on a scope everyone actually agrees on. It works well as a workshop tool.

What do I do with the final list?

Feed it straight into the Scope Blueprint tool to turn your prioritized MVP into a build-ready scope — or bring it to a call with our team.
