The bit about the lack of a mobile app, and the over-compensating for it was a great illustration of guessing at the importance of features to users. Something I'm dealing with a lot right now as I strip out incomplete features to get to a better MMP. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for reading and I'm glad that bit helped you out! I was in my own head so much about the lack of mobile app and it was paralyzing at times. Good luck with your own product!

I had that revelation last week. Well, actually earlier but it took a while to settle.

The plan was to build product until around May / June, simply because I wanted a little bit more sophistication than spreadsheets ( these would do the job, by the way). A chance encounter with a potential customer ended with me sending an offer after his most important question was "are your transports insured". Pretty much looks like my MVP is much more M than I assumed!

Yep! I took over a 3 year old product where we're rewriting/refactoring a lot of features that we're poorly engineered (and UX designed). For a bunch of them, the "rewritten" version is just stripping out the feature, because no one is using it or ever has used it.
