Scoping Cutting

When you're trying to ship faster or dealing with scope creep, this walks you through scoping frameworks from product leaders like Jason Fried and Eric Ries. It pushes you to set a time budget instead of estimating, cut your feature list in half twice, and test manually before building (Wizard of Oz style). The most useful bit is how it reframes MVP as a validation tool for a specific hypothesis, not just shipping something small. It'll ask pointed questions like "what would you cut if you had to ship in half the time?" which tends to surface what actually matters. Good for when you know you're building too much but need a framework to justify the cuts.
