What problem does it solve?

The smallest correct version first approach helps teams avoid overbuilding by ensuring exhaustive case coverage and fail-closed behavior from day one.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Exhaustive upfront decision space: define all variants before implementation.
  • Fail-closed error handling: unimplemented paths return typed errors rather than silent failures.
  • Lean scope discipline: ship minimal functionality with real consumer value, extract shared components only after second consumer exists.
  • Use Case: when designing new systems, extracting shared packages, or deciding how much to build before shipping.

Quick Start

Identify the core path for your feature and implement only that path, returning typed errors for any unimplemented variants.
