A business model canvas should include specific, non-generic content for each block, such as defined customer segments, targeted channels, and concrete cost structures, alongside cross-block consistency checks and identified risks.

You should use a Lean Canvas instead of a Business Model Canvas when you need a startup-focused view emphasizing problem-solution fit, key metrics, and unfair advantage over the broader organizational structure of the 9 Osterwalder blocks.
