AI-generated MVPs require rigorous scoring beyond initial impressions

The author advocates for a rigorous scoring process for AI-generated MVPs, moving beyond initial impressions to a structured review loop. This involves checking if the core user flow can be explained concisely, if the data model aligns with the flow, and if handoff states are explicit. Additionally, the process includes testing edge cases early and assessing the scope that can be cut before committing to development. The author highlights NxCode as a tool that facilitates this by quickly generating a reviewable app structure, allowing for critical scoring before significant engineering resources are allocated. AI

IMPACT Emphasizes the need for structured evaluation of AI-generated prototypes to ensure practical utility over mere speed.

    The moment I stop prompting and start scoring an AI-generated MVP

    <p>I do not trust an AI-generated MVP when it first looks good.</p> <p>I trust it only after I can score it.</p> <p>That is the point where I stop writing bigger prompts and start running a small review loop against the output. Lately I have been doing that with <a href="https://…
