# Validation Canvas
Produce a rigorous **Lean Canvas + Value Proposition Canvas** combined artifact from
founder inputs. Each block is a stress-tested *belief*, not a template field. The
canvas is the primary deliverable; the interview that produces it is where most of
the value lives. The job here is declarative — *what do we believe?* — and is the
upstream half of validation. The downstream half (*what have we proven?*) is owned
by the `riskiest-assumption-test` skill that runs after this one.
## What this skill produces
Always produced under the resolved canvas root (see Phase 0.0 for path
resolution; default is `docs/canvas/` for solo runs,
`docs/startup-kit/canvas/` when invoked via orchestrator):
1. **`validation-canvas.md`** — canonical, editable Markdown with two top-level
sections: `## Lean Canvas` (nine blocks per Maurya) and `## Value Proposition
Canvas` (six blocks per Osterwalder), plus a `## Stress Tests` section listing
the assumptions most likely to fail. Headings are load-bearing — `pitch-deck`,
`riskiest-assumption-test`, and `startup-grill` grep them by name.
2. **`validation-canvas.html`** — single self-contained HTML file rendering the
Lean Canvas grid (top) and the VPC fit diagram (bottom) visually. Opens in any
browser, prints cleanly to PDF, zero network dependencies.
Both files carry the same content — the HTML is the visual primary; the Markdown is
the source of truth founders edit as the business evolves.
