An early, basic version of a product (such as a piece of technology, a computer program, etc.) which meets the minimum necessary requirements for use by its creators and customers
The keyword here is customers
If you are building something for others, which you expect to make money from, then you should probably be thinking about a Minimum Sellable Product - what is the most basic product that a very specific target user or group of target users, will pay for. Or at the very least the target users must be willing (and ideally eager) to use the product “for real” (eg. for work or daily personal use)
This means your MVP or MSP, could very well be just a spreadsheet, or a basic document, as long as it’s clearly targeting specific people who want/need to use it
