Prototype
A prototype is used to test the concept, user journey and interface before building production software. It should answer product questions quickly.
MVP
An MVP is the smallest useful version real users can use. It needs production discipline, but it should avoid features that do not support validation.
Full product
A mature platform comes after evidence. It expands the feature set, operational tooling and scalability around a product that has proved it is worth growing.
