The normal expression is of course "Minimum Viable Product" which makes more sense. There's an easy trap for technical founders to fall into and think that the technology is the product, while of course it's not - the product is the value that users get from using whatever you are delivering, and process could be regarded as part of that. I don't think what OP is suggesting is at odds with "ignore process until you have product market fit", since he says "do things that don't scale" - basically ignore process efficiency until you have a proven product/engagement.
