Help me ship the MVP of the product discussed in this 10-minute transcript:
<product_transcript>

</product_transcript>
Treat the transcript as the source material. First, identify the product, the intended buyer, the result they need, the smallest useful scope, the price, and how it should be delivered. Separate facts stated in the transcript from assumptions you have to make. Ask only about missing information that would materially change what you build.
Build only what the first buyer needs. Make it polished enough to buy and use, but do not let extra features or repeated refinement delay the launch.
Ship the working MVP and give me a preview link or other clear way to show it to a buyer. Choose the simplest payment method that fits the product:
- For a software product, use Stripe and the payment tools built into Zo. If I have never used Stripe before, walk me through setup step by step in plain language. Ask me only for information that I must enter myself, such as identity or bank details, then continue the work.
- For a PDF, text product, or other simple digital download, use Gumroad or Substack.
- For a product delivered in person, cash or Venmo is fine.
Do not force Stripe onto a non-software product.
Before finishing, test the full path from the preview or offer through payment and access or delivery. Fix anything that prevents a buyer from paying or receiving the product. Then show me:
- the preview link;
- the payment method and payment link or instructions;
- what is included in the MVP;
- any known bugs or improvements that can wait until after the first sale.
