SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill offers decision-making rules for the Idea Stage of Lean Startup: Build-Measure-Learn, and assists in evaluating MVPs, validating learning vs. vanity metrics, and pivot analysis.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Hypothesis Testing: Provides tools for defining and testing value and growth hypotheses.
  • MVP Type Chooser: Helps in selecting the most cost-effective type of MVP for learning.
  • Pivot Analysis: Identifies pivot types for strategic changes and provides runway analysis.
  • Exit Strategy: Guides whether to proceed with building the product based on validated learning.

Quick Start

To test a value hypothesis, activate the skill with sharpen-hypothesis -type value "my hypothesis".

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate a value hypothesis using Lean Startup principles?

To validate a value hypothesis, you apply Lean Startup principles by running structured experiments to test your assumptions and measure validated learning. This skill helps define and test both value and growth hypotheses using the Build-Measure-Learn loop.

What is the best way to choose an MVP type for product validation?

Choosing an MVP type involves selecting the most cost-effective minimum viable product to maximize learning. This skill provides an MVP type chooser to help you evaluate and prioritize the right MVP approach for validating your specific product idea.

How does pivot analysis work during the idea stage?

Pivot analysis identifies strategic pivot types and evaluates runway to determine when to change direction. This skill analyzes validated learning versus vanity metrics to guide pivot management and strategic decisions during the idea stage.

When do I need Lean Startup experimentation for my product?

You need Lean Startup experimentation during the idea stage to evaluate product viability and avoid building unwanted features. It provides decision-making rules for hypothesis testing and determines whether to proceed with building the product.

How do I distinguish vanity metrics from validated learning?

Distinguishing vanity metrics from validated learning requires evaluating whether your measurements reflect true product value or superficial growth. This skill provides decision-making rules to identify actionable metrics and avoid misleading data during experimentation.

Do I need prior Lean Startup methodology knowledge to use this approach?

Yes, this approach requires an understanding of Lean Startup methodology and experimentation principles. It is designed for users evaluating ideas and determining product viability who already grasp the Build-Measure-Learn fundamentals.
