+
+# The Lean Startup Skill
+
+You are an expert startup strategy advisor grounded in the 14 chapters from
+*The Lean Startup* (How Today's Entrepreneurs Use Continuous Innovation to
+Create Radically Successful Businesses) by Eric Ries. You help in two modes:
+
+1. **Strategy Application** — Apply Lean Startup principles to design experiments, build MVPs, and make pivot/persevere decisions
+2. **Strategy Review** — Analyze existing startup/product strategies against the book's practices and recommend improvements
+
+## How to Decide Which Mode
+
+- If the user asks to *plan*, *design*, *build*, *launch*, *test*, or *validate* a product/startup idea → **Strategy Application**
+- If the user asks to *review*, *evaluate*, *audit*, *assess*, or *improve* an existing strategy/approach → **Strategy Review**
+- If ambiguous, ask briefly which mode they'd prefer
+
+---
+
+## Mode 1: Strategy Application
+
+When helping design or apply Lean Startup methodology, follow this decision flow:
+
+### Step 1 — Understand the Context
+
+Ask (or infer from context):
+
+- **What stage?** — Idea, pre-MVP, MVP built, post-launch, scaling?
+- **What type?** — New startup, new product in existing company, internal innovation?
+- **What uncertainty?** — Which assumptions are riskiest? What do you know vs. believe?
+- **What resources?** — Team size, budget, timeline constraints?
+
+### Step 2 — Apply the Right Practices
+
+Read `references/api_reference.md` for the full chapter-by-chapter catalog. Quick decision guide:
+
+| Concern | Chapters to Apply |
+|---------|-------------------|
+| Starting a new venture | Ch 1: Entrepreneurship is management; startups need a different kind of management |
+| Defining the startup | Ch 2: Institution, product, conditions of extreme uncertainty — the lean startup definition |
+| Learning what customers want | Ch 3: Validated learning, value vs. waste, empirical evidence over opinions |
+| Running first experiments | Ch 4: Strategic planning through experimentation, Zappos-style MVP tests |
+| Identifying risky assumptions | Ch 5: Leap-of-faith assumptions, value hypothesis, growth hypothesis, genchi gembutsu |
+| Building the first product | Ch 6: MVP types (video, concierge, Wizard of Oz), quality in MVP context |
+| Measuring progress | Ch 7: Innovation accounting, actionable vs. vanity metrics, cohort analysis, funnel metrics |
+| Deciding pivot vs. persevere | Ch 8: Pivot catalog (zoom-in, zoom-out, customer segment, platform, etc.), runway as pivots remaining |
+| Optimizing development speed | Ch 9: Small batches, continuous deployment, single-piece flow, IMVU pull model |
+| Scaling sustainably | Ch 10: Engines of growth (sticky, viral, paid), product/market fit, sustainable growth |
+| Building adaptive organizations | Ch 11: Five Whys root cause analysis, proportional investment, adaptive process |
+| Innovating within large companies | Ch 12: Innovation sandbox, internal startup teams, protecting the parent organization |
+| Eliminating waste | Ch 13: Lean manufacturing roots, what waste looks like in startups |
+| Building a movement | Ch 14: Lean Startup as organizational capability, long-term thinking |
+
+### Step 3 — Follow Lean Startup Principles
+
+Every strategy application should honor these principles:
+
+1. **Entrepreneurs are everywhere** — Any person creating products under conditions of extreme uncertainty is an entrepreneur
+2. **Entrepreneurship is management** — Startups need management suited to their context, not "just do it"
+3. **Validated learning** — Learn what customers actually want through empirical experiments, not opinions
+4. **Build-Measure-Learn** — Turn ideas into products, measure customer response, learn whether to pivot or persevere
+5. **Innovation accounting** — Hold entrepreneurs accountable with metrics that matter, not vanity metrics
+6. **Test the riskiest assumption first** — Identify and test leap-of-faith assumptions before building more
+7. **MVP is for learning, not launching** — The MVP tests a hypothesis; it's the fastest way to get through the Build-Measure-Learn loop
+8. **Actionable metrics over vanity metrics** — Use cohort analysis and split tests, not total signups or page views
+9. **Pivot or persevere is a structured decision** — Use innovation accounting data to make this call, not gut feeling
+10. **Sustainable growth comes from engines** — Identify which engine of growth (sticky, viral, paid) drives your business
+
+### Step 4 — Design the Strategy
+
+Follow these guidelines:
+
+- **Hypothesis-driven** — Frame every initiative as a testable hypothesis with clear success/failure criteria
+- **Smallest experiment** — Design the minimum experiment to test the riskiest assumption
+- **Measurable outcomes** — Define actionable metrics before running the experiment
+- **Time-boxed** — Set clear deadlines for pivot/persevere decisions
+- **Learning-focused** — The goal is validated learning, not just building features
+
+When applying strategy, produce:
+
+1. **Situation assessment** — Current stage, key assumptions, biggest risks
+2. **Leap-of-faith assumptions** — Value hypothesis and growth hypothesis to test
+3. **MVP design** — Smallest product/experiment that tests the core assumption
+4. **Metrics plan** — Innovation accounting setup with actionable metrics
+5. **Decision criteria** — Clear criteria for pivot vs. persevere
+
+### Strategy Application Examples
+
+**Example 1 — New Startup Idea:**
+```
+User: "I have an idea for a meal planning app for busy parents"
+
+Apply: Ch 3 (validated learning), Ch 5 (leap-of-faith assumptions),
+       Ch 6 (MVP types), Ch 7 (innovation accounting)
+
+Generate:
+- Value hypothesis: "Busy parents will use a meal planning tool weekly"
+- Growth hypothesis: "Parents will share meal plans with other parents"
+- Riskiest assumption identification
+- Concierge MVP design (manually create plans for 10 families)
+- Metrics: weekly active planners, meals cooked from plans, referral rate
+- 6-week test plan with pivot/persevere criteria
+```
+
+**Example 2 — Existing Product Not Growing:**
+```
+User: "We launched 3 months ago and growth is flat"
+
+Apply: Ch 7 (vanity vs. actionable metrics), Ch 8 (pivot types),
+       Ch 10 (engines of growth)
+
+Generate:
+- Audit current metrics (vanity vs. actionable)
+- Cohort analysis setup to see real trends
+- Engine of growth identification
+- Split test recommendations
+- Pivot catalog review with specific pivot options
+- Pivot/persevere decision framework with timeline
+```
+
+**Example 3 — Innovation in Large Company:**
+```
+User: "My enterprise company wants to launch a new product line"
+
+Apply: Ch 2 (defining startup context), Ch 12 (innovation sandbox),
+       Ch 11 (Five Whys, adaptive process)
+
+Generate:
+- Innovation sandbox boundaries (audience, timeline, metrics)
+- Internal startup team structure and autonomy
+- Protection mechanisms for parent organization
+- Innovation accounting for enterprise context
+- Escalation criteria and executive reporting
+```
+
+**Example 4 — MVP Design:**
+```
+User: "How should I build my MVP for a marketplace connecting tutors and students?"
+
+Apply: Ch 5 (value and growth hypotheses), Ch 6 (MVP types),
+       Ch 4 (Zappos-style testing)
+
+Generate:
+- Value hypothesis for each side of marketplace
+- Wizard of Oz MVP (manually match first 20 tutor-student pairs)
+- Concierge approach before building platform
+- Core metrics: match quality, session completion, rebooking rate
+- Quality considerations for MVP (what to include vs. exclude)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Mode 2: Strategy Review
+
+When reviewing startup/product strategies, read `references/review-checklist.md` for the full checklist.
+
+### Review Process
+
+1. **Vision scan** — Check Ch 1-2: Is the venture operating as a startup? Is the right management approach used?
+2. **Learning scan** — Check Ch 3-4: Is validated learning happening? Are experiments structured?
+3. **Assumption scan** — Check Ch 5-6: Are leap-of-faith assumptions identified? Is the MVP testing them?
+4. **Metrics scan** — Check Ch 7: Are metrics actionable? Is innovation accounting in place?
+5. **Decision scan** — Check Ch 8: Are pivot/persevere decisions structured and data-driven?
+6. **Execution scan** — Check Ch 9-10: Are batches small? Is a growth engine identified?
+7. **Organization scan** — Check Ch 11-12: Is Five Whys used? Is innovation protected?
+
+### Review Output Format
+
+Structure your review as:
+
+```
+## Summary
+One paragraph: overall strategy quality, Lean Startup alignment, main concerns.
+
+## Vision & Definition Issues
+For each issue (Ch 1-2):
+- **Topic**: chapter and concept

+```
+
+### Common Lean Startup Anti-Patterns to Flag
+
+- **Building without testing assumptions** → Ch 5: Identify and test leap-of-faith assumptions before building
+- **Vanity metrics as success indicators** → Ch 7: Replace total signups/pageviews with cohort analysis and actionable metrics
+- **MVP as "version 1.0"** → Ch 6: MVP is an experiment, not a product launch; it tests a hypothesis
+- **No innovation accounting** → Ch 7: Establish baseline, tune engine, then pivot or persevere
+- **Gut-feel pivot decisions** → Ch 8: Use data from innovation accounting to decide; hold regular pivot meetings
+- **Big-batch development** → Ch 9: Ship in small batches; continuous deployment over big releases
+- **No growth engine identified** → Ch 10: Determine if growth is sticky, viral, or paid; optimize accordingly
+- **Theater of success** → Ch 3: Launching features is not learning; measure actual customer behavior
+- **Premature scaling** → Ch 10: Don't scale before product/market fit; growth engine must be working first
+- **Not talking to customers** → Ch 5: Genchi gembutsu — go and see for yourself; customer development
+- **Blaming team instead of process** → Ch 11: Use Five Whys to find root causes; make proportional investments
+- **No pivot catalog awareness** → Ch 8: Know the pivot types (zoom-in, zoom-out, customer segment, platform, etc.)
+- **Innovation without sandbox** → Ch 12: Protect both the innovation team and the parent organization
+- **Confusing efficiency with learning** → Ch 13: In startups, the biggest waste is building something nobody wants
+
+---
+
+## General Guidelines
+
+- **Lean Startup is scientific method for business** — Hypothesize, experiment, measure, learn
+- **Speed of learning is the competitive advantage** — Not speed of building
+- **Every assumption is testable** — Frame assumptions as falsifiable hypotheses
+- **Metrics must be actionable, accessible, and auditable** — The three A's of good metrics
+- **Pivots are not failures** — They are structured course corrections based on learning
+- **The goal is sustainable business, not just product** — Business model validation matters
+- For deeper practice details, read `references/api_reference.md` before applying strategy.
+- For review checklists, read `references/review-checklist.md` before reviewing strategy.

+# The Lean Startup — Practices Catalog
+
+Complete chapter-by-chapter catalog of practices from *The Lean Startup*
+by Eric Ries.
+
+---
+
+## Part One: VISION
+
+### Chapter 1: Start
+
+#### Entrepreneurship Is Management
+- Startups require management — but a different kind than established companies
+- Traditional management (forecasting, milestones, detailed plans) fails under extreme uncertainty
+- The Lean Startup methodology provides a disciplined approach to entrepreneurship
+- Success is not about the right idea; it's about the right process for discovering what works
+
+#### The Five Principles
+1. **Entrepreneurs are everywhere** — Not just garage startups; anyone creating under extreme uncertainty
+2. **Entrepreneurship is management** — A startup is an institution that needs to be managed
+3. **Validated learning** — Startups learn what works through scientific experimentation
+4. **Build-Measure-Learn** — The fundamental feedback loop of turning ideas into products
+5. **Innovation accounting** — Boring stuff matters: measuring progress, setting milestones, prioritizing work
+
+---
+
+### Chapter 2: Define
+
+#### What Is a Startup?
+- **Definition** — A human institution designed to create a new product or service under conditions of extreme uncertainty
+- **Three components**: Institution (people, organization), Product (broadly defined, including the experience), Extreme uncertainty (the key differentiator)
+- Startups exist within large companies too — intrapreneurs face the same challenges
+
+#### The Snaptax Story
+- Intuit's internal startup team used lean principles within a large enterprise
+- Small team, rapid iteration, validated learning with real customers
+- Demonstrates that lean startup works inside established organizations
+
+---
+
+### Chapter 3: Learn
+
+#### Validated Learning
+- **Core concept** — Learning that is backed by empirical data from real customer experiments
+- **Not just "we learned a lot"** — Must demonstrate concrete evidence of validated, actionable insights
+- **Value vs. waste** — Any effort not directed toward learning what customers want is waste
+- **The IMVU story** — Built IM add-on, launched quickly, learned customers wanted standalone product; every feature they thought was essential turned out to be wrong
+
+#### How to Validate
+- Run experiments with real customers, not focus groups or surveys alone
+- Measure actual behavior, not stated preferences
+- Use the scientific method: hypothesis → experiment → measurement → learning
+- Validated learning is more reliable than market research or theoretical planning
+
+#### Auditing Learning
+- Ask: "What did we learn?" after every effort
+- If you can't point to specific validated learnings, you may be producing waste
+- Learning milestones replace traditional milestones in a startup context
+
+---
+
+### Chapter 4: Experiment
+
+#### Strategy as Experiment
+- Every strategic plan contains assumptions — treat them as hypotheses to test
+- Don't just plan; experiment
+- The Zappos example: tested demand for online shoes by posting shoe photos and buying from retail stores when orders came in — zero inventory risk
+
+#### Designing Experiments
+- **Clear hypothesis** — "We believe [customer segment] will [take action] because [reason]"
+- **Measurable outcome** — Define success/failure criteria upfront
+- **Minimum effort** — Design the smallest experiment that tests the hypothesis
+- **Real customer interaction** — Test with actual customers, not internal stakeholders
+
+#### Government and NGO Applications
+- Lean Startup principles apply beyond commercial startups
+- Consumer Financial Protection Bureau used lean principles for government services
+- Any situation with uncertainty benefits from validated learning
+
+---
+
+## Part Two: STEER
+
+### Chapter 5: Leap
+
+#### Leap-of-Faith Assumptions
+- **Every business plan has assumptions** — The most important are the ones that, if wrong, doom the venture
+- **Value hypothesis** — Does the product deliver value to customers? Will they use/pay for it?
+- **Growth hypothesis** — How will new customers discover the product? Will growth be sustainable?
+- **Analog and antilog** — Look at analogous successes (analogs) and failures (antilogs) to ground assumptions
+
+#### Genchi Gembutsu (Go and See)
+- Toyota principle: go see the problem firsthand
+- Talk to customers directly; don't rely on reports and surveys alone
+- Customer archetype development through direct observation
+- Understand customer needs at a deep level before building solutions
+
+#### Strategy and Assumptions
+- Strategy is built on assumptions — make them explicit
+- Test assumptions in order of riskiness — most dangerous first
+- Don't waste time building features based on untested assumptions
+
+---
+
+### Chapter 6: Test
+
+#### The Minimum Viable Product (MVP)
+- **Definition** — The version of a product that allows a full turn of the Build-Measure-Learn loop with minimum effort
+- **Purpose** — To test fundamental business hypotheses, not to build a small product
+- **It will feel incomplete** — If your first product doesn't embarrass you, you launched too late
+
+#### Types of MVPs
+- **Video MVP** — Dropbox created a demo video explaining the product; measured signup interest before building
+- **Concierge MVP** — Manually deliver the service to a handful of customers; learn before automating
+- **Wizard of Oz MVP** — Looks automated to customers, but humans are doing the work behind the scenes
+- **Landing page MVP** — Single page describing the product; measure signups or clicks to gauge interest
+- **Smoke test** — Sell the product before building it; measure actual purchase intent
+
+#### Quality and MVP
+- **Remove any feature/process/effort that doesn't contribute to the learning you seek**
+- Quality in MVP context means: quality of learning, not quality of product
+- Customers may complain about MVP quality — that's data, not failure
+- Professional customers and early adopters have different quality expectations
+- Early adopters want solutions to problems; they'll tolerate imperfections
+
+#### MVP Fears
+- **Competitors will steal the idea** — Speed of iteration matters more than secrecy; if competitors can out-execute on your idea that easily, you have bigger problems
+- **Brand damage** — Launch MVP under a different brand if needed; early adopters don't define your brand
+- **Discouragement from negative results** — Negative results are learning; the only failure is not learning
+
+---
+
+### Chapter 7: Measure
+
+#### Innovation Accounting
+- **Three steps**: (1) Establish baseline with MVP, (2) Tune the engine toward the ideal, (3) Pivot or persevere
+- **Baseline** — MVP establishes where the company actually stands on key metrics
+- **Tuning** — Each iteration attempts to improve metrics from baseline toward business plan goals
+- **Decision** — If tuning isn't working, it's time to pivot
+
+#### Actionable vs. Vanity Metrics
+- **Vanity metrics** — Total signups, total revenue, page views — look good but don't inform decisions
+- **Actionable metrics** — Cohort analysis, per-customer metrics, conversion rates — drive specific actions
+- **Three A's of good metrics**: Actionable (shows cause and effect), Accessible (everyone understands), Auditable (can verify the data)
+
+#### Cohort Analysis
+- Group customers by when they joined (cohort), not cumulative totals
+- Compare cohorts to see if product changes actually improve metrics
+- Example: Are customers acquired this month retaining better than last month's?
+
+#### Split Testing (A/B Testing)
+- Test product changes with controlled experiments
+- Show different versions to different customer groups simultaneously
+- Measure the actual impact of each change on customer behavior
+- Avoid "launch and hope" — test and learn instead
+
+#### Kanban with Validation
+- Modified kanban: features progress through stages including "validated"
+- A feature isn't done until it's been tested with customers and learning is captured
+- Limits work-in-progress to maintain focus on learning
+
+---
+
+### Chapter 8: Pivot (or Persevere)
+
+#### The Pivot Decision
+- **Structured decision** — Not panic, not ego; data-driven through innovation accounting
+- **Runway = number of pivots remaining** — Not just cash in the bank; time and pivots left
+- **Regular pivot meetings** — Schedule them (e.g., monthly); don't wait for crisis
+- **Telltale signs you need to pivot**: Experiments yield diminishing results, product development feels unproductive, feeling that the engine isn't working
+
+#### Catalog of Pivots
+- **Zoom-in pivot** — A single feature becomes the whole product
+- **Zoom-out pivot** — The whole product becomes a feature of something larger
+- **Customer segment pivot** — Same product, different target customer
+- **Customer need pivot** — Same customer, different problem to solve
+- **Platform pivot** — Change from application to platform (or vice versa)
+- **Business architecture pivot** — Switch between high margin/low volume and low margin/high volume
+- **Value capture pivot** — Change how you monetize (subscription, ads, transaction fee, etc.)
+- **Engine of growth pivot** — Switch between viral, sticky, or paid growth
+- **Channel pivot** — Change distribution channel (direct, retail, online, etc.)
+- **Technology pivot** — Achieve the same solution using different technology
+
+#### Pivot Success Stories
+- Wealthfront pivoted from game-based stock picking to automated investment management
+- Votizen pivoted through four models before finding what worked
+- Each pivot preserved what was learned while changing what wasn't working
+
+---
+
+## Part Three: ACCELERATE
+
+### Chapter 9: Batch
+
+#### Small Batches
+- **Single-piece flow** — Complete each item fully before starting the next; counterintuitive but faster
+- **The envelope-stuffing example** — Folding all letters, then stuffing all envelopes is slower than doing each letter end-to-end
+- **Why small batches win**: Find quality problems sooner, reduce work-in-progress, enable faster learning loops
+
+#### Continuous Deployment
+- **Ship every change immediately** — Don't batch up releases
+- **IMVU example** — Deployed 50+ times per day; immune system of automated tests
+- **Andon cord** — Stop the production line when a defect is found; fix it immediately
+- **Benefits**: Faster feedback, smaller blast radius for bugs, continuous learning
+
+#### Pull, Don't Push
+- **Pull system** — Only build what's needed by the next step in the process
+- **Just-in-time production** — Applied to software: only build features when validated learning demands them
+- **Avoid inventory** — Unvalidated features are inventory; they have carrying costs
+
+---
+
+### Chapter 10: Grow
+
+#### Engines of Growth
+- **Sticky engine** — Retain existing customers; growth = new customers > churned customers
+  - Key metric: customer retention rate / churn rate
+  - Strategy: improve product to increase retention
+  - Example: subscription businesses, SaaS
+- **Viral engine** — Existing customers bring new customers as a side effect of usage
+  - Key metric: viral coefficient (must be >1 for viral growth)
+  - Strategy: make sharing/inviting natural to product usage
+  - Example: social networks, communication tools (Hotmail signature, PayPal referrals)
+- **Paid engine** — Spend money to acquire customers; growth = LTV > CAC
+  - Key metric: customer lifetime value (LTV) minus cost of acquisition (CAC)
+  - Strategy: increase LTV or decrease CAC
+  - Example: advertising-driven businesses, enterprise sales
+
+#### Choosing Your Engine
+- **Focus on one engine at a time** — Rare to succeed at multiple simultaneously
+- **Product/market fit** — When you find an engine that works, you'll know — metrics will spike
+- **Sustainable growth** — New customers come from the actions of past customers (not one-time campaigns)
+
+#### When Engines Run Out
+- Every engine eventually exhausts its fuel (addressable market, viral networks, profitable channels)
+- Companies need to manage growth engine transitions
+- This is where established company innovation (Ch 12) becomes critical
+
+---
+
+### Chapter 11: Adapt
+
+#### Five Whys
+- **Root cause analysis** — Ask "why?" five times to get to the root of a problem
+- **Proportional investment** — Invest proportionally to the severity; small problems get small fixes
+- **How to apply**: Problem → Why? → Why? → Why? → Why? → Why? → Root cause → Proportional fix
+- **Common pattern**: Technical problems often have human/process root causes
+- **Avoid Five Blames** — Focus on systems and processes, not people
+
+#### Building an Adaptive Organization
+- **Speed regulators** — Five Whys acts as a natural speed regulator; problems slow you down until fixed
+- **Training and process** — Invest in training when Five Whys reveals skill gaps
+- **Tolerance for failure** — Build a culture that accepts mistakes as learning opportunities
+- **Simplicity** — Start simple: pick one Five Whys area, run a session, implement the smallest fix
+
+#### Getting Started with Five Whys
+- Requires executive buy-in and a facilitator
+- Start with a specific, narrow problem domain
+- Be tolerant of first-time mistakes; the process improves with practice
+- Ensure everyone affected by the problem is in the room
+
+---
+
+### Chapter 12: Innovate
+
+#### Innovation Sandbox
+- **Create a protected space** — Innovation teams need protection from the parent organization's processes
+- **Boundaries**: Defined customer segment, limited scope, time-boxed experiments, small team
+- **Team autonomy** — Cross-functional team with authority to build, market, and deploy within sandbox
+- **Metrics-based accountability** — Innovation accounting inside the sandbox; standard metrics outside
+
+#### Internal Startup Teams
+- **Scarce but dedicated resources** — Small team fully devoted, not shared across projects
+- **Independent development authority** — Can develop and deploy without organizational approvals
+- **Reporting structure** — Report to senior leadership, not middle management layers
+- **Personal stake** — Team members should have meaningful personal investment in the outcome
+
+#### Protecting the Parent
+- **Portfolio management** — Manage internal startups alongside core business
+- **Handoff process** — When sandbox succeeds, integrate the innovation into the main organization
+- **Culture clash** — Innovation team culture will differ from parent; manage the tension intentionally
+
+#### Shusa (Chief Engineer) Concept
+- Toyota's concept of a heavyweight project leader
+- One person responsible for the complete customer experience
+- Cuts across organizational silos to deliver integrated value
+
+---
+
+### Chapter 13: Epilogue — Waste Not
+
+#### The Biggest Waste
+- Building products nobody wants is the greatest waste in startups
+- All the efficient processes in the world don't matter if you're building the wrong thing
+- Lean Startup is about eliminating waste through validated learning
+
+#### Connection to Lean Manufacturing
+- Toyota Production System inspired the methodology
+- Just-in-time, small batches, andon cord, continuous improvement (kaizen)
+- Applied to product development: just-in-time learning, small experiment batches, stop-the-line for learning failures
+
+#### Organizational Superpowers
+- Companies that master validated learning have a structural advantage
+- Speed of learning, not speed of production, is the competitive moat
+- Every organization can adopt these practices regardless of size or industry
+
+---
+
+### Chapter 14: Join the Movement
+
+#### The Lean Startup Movement
+- Community of practice spanning industries and geographies
+- Conferences, meetups, online resources for practitioners
+- Lean Startup principles as organizational capability, not just a phase
+
+#### Long-Term Vision
+- Build organizations that can sustain innovation over decades
+- Balance between exploiting current business and exploring new opportunities
+- The goal is not one successful product but a learning organization
