# Slice 7: MVP Scope Decision
## Status
Complete
## Roadmap Alignment
This slice owns **MVP Scope and Requirement Governance** in `ROADMAP.md`. Its product decisions are complete. Remaining cross-document consistency and final release-checklist work is assigned to Slices 6 and 8 rather than reopening the scope decision.
## Objective
Define one testable MVP release boundary, especially whether IBM Bob/watsonx integration is required for the initial release.
## Dependencies
- Product-owner decisions
- Existing requirements, architecture, and task inventory
## In Scope
- AI-in-MVP decision
- Required personas, workflows, deployment model, inclusions, exclusions, and acceptance criteria
- Reconciliation of conflicting requirement statements
## Out of Scope
- Feature implementation and detailed post-MVP roadmap planning
## Tasks
- [x] Inventory ambiguous or conflicting MVP statements.
- [x] Define minimum release workflows.
- [x] Decide that AI is provider-neutral and post-MVP.
- [x] Decide that every modeled authentication type is release-blocking.
- [x] Confirm the six acceptance workflows in `MVP_SCOPE.md`.
- [x] Convert the decisions into measurable release criteria.
- [x] Update project state and dependent plans.
## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] One authoritative MVP definition exists without contradictory release requirements.
- [x] AI has an explicit post-MVP status and no v0.1.0 acceptance dependency.
- [ ] Every requirement maps to a slice and validation criterion.
- [ ] Deferred features are clearly labeled post-MVP.
- [ ] Slice 6 has a definitive release checklist.
## Validation
- [ ] Requirements, architecture, tasks, and slices use consistent language.
- [ ] No open question can materially change MVP completion.
- [x] The product owner approves the release boundary.
## Risks and Open Questions
- AI ambiguity can invalidate estimates and acceptance late in development.
- Aspirational requirements can make the MVP impractically large.
- Scope reduction must not discard required security controls.
## Progress Log
### 2026-07-18
- Removed IBM Bob/watsonx from MVP scope.
- Required all five modeled authentication modes.
- Approved six end-to-end acceptance workflows.
- Created `MVP_SCOPE.md`.
## Handoff
- Last completed: Product owner approved and documented the MVP scope.
- Next action: Use `MVP_SCOPE.md` to drive implementation and release acceptance.
- Known blockers: None.
