Ambitious ideas can hide the first useful move. The first build should be the smallest slice that can do one job well enough to teach something.
That might be a form that captures the right context, a page that makes a decision easier, or a small workflow that turns a repeated task into a clear handoff. It does not need every feature. It needs a real user and a real outcome.
Once that slice exists, the conversation gets better. The work can reveal what is confusing, what is missing, and what is not worth building. The next step becomes an observation instead of a guess.
Small does not mean careless. The piece should be understandable, dependable, and easy to change. A focused first version creates room for better work later.
