# Lean Startup Methodology

Test the bet before you build the whole thing

## What this does

You have an idea and a long list of things to build, and no proof any of it is wanted. This helps you find the smallest version that would teach you something, run it, and read the result honestly. Reach for it when deciding what goes in a first release, or when you are unsure whether to change direction.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Scope a first version worth shipping
- Design a cheap experiment for a risky assumption
- Decide whether to pivot or keep going

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About Lean Startup Methodology

This skill applies Build-Measure-Learn to the decisions that come before and around building: what an MVP should contain, which experiments produce validated learning, and whether a product bet should be pivoted or persevered with.

It covers innovation accounting and actionable metrics, so progress can be judged by something other than activity. It also helps you spot vanity metrics and design a minimum viable experiment to test a business idea cheaply.

Use it when scoping a first version, measuring startup progress, or weighing a change of direction. For five-day prototype testing see design-sprint; for customer motivation see jobs-to-be-done.

## Questions

### Is Lean Startup Methodology safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Lean Startup Methodology and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit 326b3801223a, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/lean-startup.

### How do I install Lean Startup Methodology?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/lean-startup on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/wondelai/skills/tree/326b3801223ad277ae7082ff85435ba1d36e1903/lean-startup. Install from that link, not the branch.
