Short Answer

The most critical point in MVP proposals isn't the number of screens; it's whether the technical assumptions are written out clearly. Ambiguity creates timeline and budget overruns.

What Must Be in the Proposal

Scope limits, the list of deliverables, the version plan, the testing process, hosting assumptions, and revision terms should be stated clearly.

Without these items, the proposal soon leads to extra costs.

Timeline and Risks

The timeline should include not just development but also analysis, design, QA, and go-live steps.

Third-party service dependencies and API uncertainties should be noted separately.

Sustainability

To keep technical debt from piling up after the MVP launches, the code standard, documentation, and monitoring infrastructure should be questioned.

In the long run, it's not the cheapest proposal that pays off but the one that requires the least rewriting.
