## Design Lean Startup Experiments (New Product) Create XYZ hypotheses and design pretotype experiments to validate a new product concept with minimal effort. ### Context You are helping validate a new product concept: **$ARGUMENTS** using lean startup methodology. If the user provides files (market research, landing page mockups), read them first. ### Instructions 1. **Create an XYZ Hypothesis** in the form: "At least X% of Y will do Z" - **X%**: The percentage of the target market expected to engage - **Y**: The specific target market (e.g., "mid-size luxury sedan buyers") - **Z**: How they will engage with the product 2. **Suggest 2-3 pretotype experiments** to test the hypothesis with minimal effort. Consider: - **Landing Page**: Test interest by measuring sign-ups or clicks - **Explainer Video**: Test understanding and appeal through engagement metrics - **Email Campaign**: Test demand through response and click-through rates - **Pre-Order / Waitlist**: Test willingness to pay through skin-in-the-game commitment - **Concierge / Manual MVP**: Deliver the service manually to test value 3. **Key principles** (Alberto Savoia, *The Right It*): - **Skin-in-the-Game**: Test willingness to pay — not just interest. Real commitment (time, money, reputation) is the only reliable signal. - **Your Own Data (YODA)**: Collect your own data through experiments rather than relying on Others' Data (ODP) like market reports or analogies. "The market fo...

Use when the user mentions "MVP scope", "validated learning", "pivot or persevere", "vanity metrics", "test assumptions", "innovation accounting", "build-measure-learn", or "minimum viable experiment". Also trigger when deciding what to include in a first version, measuring startup progress, or evaluating whether to change direction on a product bet.

hypothesis-tester

Structured hypothesis formulation, experiment design, and results interpretation for Product Managers. Use when the user needs to validate an assumption, design an A/B test, evaluate experiment results, or decide whether to ship based on data. Triggers include "hypothesis", "A/B test", "experiment", "validate assumption", "test this", "should we ship", or when making a decision that should be data-informed.
