> what exactly differentiates an MVP from an RAT except for a subjective interpretation about is implied by the terms Minimum Viable Product and Riskiest Assumption Test. That's exactly what differentiates them. Although I'm not sure what about language you feel is subjective. I don't think subjective/objective really captures the thing that makes words fuzzy. Words are culture, and so they mean different things in different circles. The cultures are all blended, so when two individuals talk everything is a little soft around the edges. But "minimum" is quite a different word from "riskiest". Minimum implies "what do you think you can get away with presenting to someone" whereas "riskiest" implies you are making an assumption that could sink the ship. I think you'd have a hard time arguing they are so similar as to be functionally equivalent.
