In episode #6 of "Backstage Tech", we're unpacking how to run a complete MVP discovery phase in one week using AI and just two people — because nine out of ten software projects blow past budget and timeline when founders skip discovery.

Pulling from 7 years working with dozens of founders at ⚙️ ProCoders, I break down the exact framework that replaces expensive discovery teams with AI and delivers a complete PRD in 5 days:

• The One-Day User Stories Protocol — record customer conversations with Loom, ask the three questions that identify THE most painful problem, then let Claude generate your problem statement and user stories in 2-4 hours (not 2 weeks)
• The AI Prototype Sprint — use Lovable, Bolt, or Replit to build a clickable MVP prototype in days, validate it with your customer live, iterate until it's sold (all with one person, no dev team yet)
• The Architecture Acceleration Method — bring in one seasoned architect, let Claude generate your tech stack, scope breakdown, and team composition in minutes, architect reviews and approves (not builds from scratch)
• The Week-One Close Strategy — speak with customers on Monday, show prototype Tuesday, refine Wednesday, present complete PRD with roadmap by Friday, then get it signed and start building (not the other way around)

If you own, fund, or lead a software product, this episode gives you the human-in-the-loop framework that turns MVP discovery from a months-long budget drain into a one-week competitive advantage.
