The Concierge Treatment is a term coined by Eric Ries in the Lean Startup that describes the white glove service that early adopters receive as part of the Concierge MVP, whereby customers receive a service tailored to them, which is improved through In-Depth Interviews as a means of finding a product-market fit.

Compared to the Concierge MVP, which implements Lean Methodologies in a way that dictates the absolute minimum use of technology (i.e. no product) with as much done manually by humans, our description of the Concierge Treatment suggests leveraging delasign's process to iteratively define and prototype an incremental version of a product, service or experience that improves and grows based on paying customer use and feedback through In-Depth Interviews.

Please note that the concierge treatment must be applied to a paying customer and therefore they must be willing to continuously use the creation and it must deliver measurable value to them.
