How do you differentiate an MVP from a throwaway prototype architecturally?
WHAT IT TESTS: MVA discipline separating disposable prototypes from supportable MVPs. ANSWER OUTLINE: Distinguish by user commitment; define bounded contexts with stable interfaces; favor reversible decisions and day-one observability.
WHAT IT TESTS: Your grasp of Minimum Viable Architecture and the line between a throwaway prototype and a product users keep. ANSWER OUTLINE: First, define the difference by user commitment and sustainability. Second, sketch lightweight upfront boundaries like bounded contexts or module interfaces so implementations can be swapped later. Third, favor reversible decisions over deep vendor lock-in, and ship with basic observability. RED FLAG: Insisting architecture must fully emerge with no upfront design, or defaulting to a sacrificial rewrite.
