Simple, Lovable, Complete

An alternative to the minimum viable product: the first release should be simple (small in scope), lovable (people want to use it) and complete (it does its one job fully, rather than being a partial version of something bigger)

Jason Cohen proposed it in 2019 in "Your customers hate MVPs. Make a SLC instead." His argument is that an MVP is built for the team's learning, while customers experience it as a broken product. An SLC is small but finished, so it earns use and word of mouth while the team learns. The trade is scope, not quality.
