   A startup has a hypothesis that a mobile app for finding local dog walkers will be popular. They have limited funding and need to test this hypothesis before building the full app. They have identified two potential MVPs: a landing page with a 'Sign Up' button, or a manual concierge service where the founders personally coordinate dog walks. Which MVP is more effective for validating the hypothesis?

   • AThe concierge service, because it tests the full value proposition (finding a walker) and reveals real user behavior and pain points.
   • BNeither is effective, as an MVP must be a working software application.
   • CThe landing page, because it is faster and cheaper to build, allowing the team to test the hypothesis sooner.
   • DBoth are equally effective, as they both test the same hypothesis with minimal effort.
