Direct answer
AI MVP architecture work defines the smallest useful product, the data flow, model responsibilities, deterministic guardrails, integrations, and delivery plan before engineering cost compounds.
Architecture starts with the workflow
The goal is not to pick tools first. The goal is to understand the user decision, the data needed to support that decision, the system outputs, and the review loops that make the product reliable.
