# Week 7 — Scope + MVP / V1

W7 is where the learner decides what to do with the capability developed in the
selected Deep Dive track and immediately produces its first meaningful version.
Define it by doing it.

**By the end of W7, the PoW scope should be stable enough for W8 to focus on
refinement rather than another major rescope.** Small changes discovered through
testing, evidence or feedback remain expected where they improve the work.

* **Builder:** define a realistic PoW while producing a working MVP or smallest
  meaningful vertical slice.
* **Researcher:** define a realistic PoW while producing a rough but complete
  evidence-backed Analysis V1.

This page is a scaffold. The Education team will add the detailed milestone,
evidence and review instructions. **Completion: 200 points.**
