foundation-lean-canvas

Solid

Produces a one-page lean canvas across nine interlocking blocks (problem, customer, UVP, solution, channels, revenue, cost, metrics, unfair advantage) with optional inline HTML and SVG visual rendering. Use when framing a new product thesis, stress-testing an existing strategy, comparing strategic options side-by-side, or aligning a team on business-model assumptions. Works as a strategic hub that cross-links to deeper PM skills without duplicating them.

This skill is a strategic hub, not a specialist tool. It produces the integrated one-page artifact and cross-links to deeper PM skills (`define-problem-statement`, `foundation-persona`, `define-jtbd-canvas`, `develop-solution-brief`, `discover-competitive-analysis`, `measure-experiment-design`) for single-block depth when needed. ## Supported Modes - `content` (default) produces the nine-block canvas as structured markdown. - `visual` produces the markdown canvas AND writes a self-contained, attractive `.html` file to disk using `references/html-template.html` as the layout scaffold. The HTML renders the canonical Maurya nine-block layout with polished typography, subtle per-column color accents, confidence badges per block, and print-ready A3 landscape styling.
