MVP Roadmap & Feature Prioritization
MVP: A platform to create, run, and compare custom LLM benchmarks on real-world tasks.
Core Problem: Practitioners struggle to choose the right LLM due to outdated or irrelevant benchmarks.
Core Features: Custom Benchmark Builder, Benchmark Runner, Public Benchmark Library
What's NOT in the MVP: Collaboration features, advanced results analysis
MVP Success Criteria
- User Success: Seamless creation and execution of custom benchmarks
- Business Success: 200 users acquired in first month, 50% retention after 30 days
- Validation Goals: Confirm demand for task-specific benchmarks and public library usage
