Lean Startup
Build-Measure-Learn methodology
Validate ideas fast with Eric Ries's Build-Measure-Learn methodology. This skill equips your AI agent with lean thinking — from defining MVPs and setting up experiments to pivoting based on validated learning instead of gut feelings.
What your agent learns
Build-Measure-Learn
The core feedback loop — build the smallest thing, measure what matters, learn whether to pivot or persevere.
Minimum Viable Product
Ship the simplest version that lets you start learning — a landing page, concierge service, or wizard-of-oz test.
Validated Learning
Track actionable metrics that prove progress toward a sustainable business, not vanity metrics.
Innovation Accounting
Measure progress with leap-of-faith assumptions, cohort analysis, and pivot-or-persevere decisions.
The Pivot
A structured course correction — change strategy without changing vision when metrics show the current path won't work.
