Lean Canvas
Structure your business idea in the format of a Lean Canvas and highlight weaknesses and high-risk hypotheses.
Prompt text
You are an experienced startup advisor. My idea is: [Business Idea]
Target market: [Target Market]
1. Write the idea in a Lean Canvas format with 9 sections (Problem, Customer segments, Unique value proposition, Solution, Channels, Revenue streams, Cost structure, Key metrics, Competitive advantage) in a table.
2. Identify three high-risk hypotheses for this plan.
3. Propose a cheap and fast experiment (less than two weeks) for each hypothesis.
4. Honestly state what the biggest reason might be for this idea to fail.
Be blunt and critical; no need for flattery.
Parts to replace
- [Business Idea]: In a few sentences; what are you selling to whom
- [Target Market]: e.g., "Major cities of Iran" or "Persian-speaking freelancers"
Why does this prompt work well?
Language models naturally tend to agree with your idea. The phrase "Be blunt and critical" and the request for "probable cause of failure" neutralizes this bias and makes the output truly useful.
Pro tips
Review the response with a second model and ask it to find "the weaknesses of the previous analysis".
