1. It lives and moves as a business model canvas and app

Business Model Canvas is a key tool for lean startups to visualize hypotheses in one sheet. In Chapter 2, 9 blocks are structured on a sheet, linked to AppSheet, and completed as a mobile app with filters by status, tracking of modification history, and separation of permissions by role. The canvas changes from a paper document to a system where teams write together.

2. Automate customer development with a single sheet

A lean startup starts with customer development (Customer Development) where you go out of the office and meet customers in person. In this course, we will design the three major risk (product, customer, and market) verification questions in Chapter 3 in Gemini and gather responses using the AppSheet app. The content of the interview is not a scattered memo; it is stored as data that is retrieved and aggregated along with automatic notifications.

3. MVP checks demand first with pre-registration

In a lean startup, an MVP is not a finished product; it is the cheapest device to test a hypothesis. In Chapter 4, a landing page is distributed as an AppSheet with only a headline, CTA, and registration form, and a pre-registration type MVP is completed, which checks “if anyone is interested in this idea.” In the final OUTRO-4, I will summarize how to expand this ability to execute into the MVP of the entire idea in four steps: CPO, CMO, CTO, and CFO.

4. Iteration, 3 weeks of operating data tells us the following

Lean startups move forward through iterations (iterative improvements) that look at data and adjust direction. In Chapter 7, we analyze 3 weeks of actual operational data to derive improvement priorities, and learn how to directly fix the AppSheet screen using the “analysis → correction → verification” loop. The final decision on whether to continue or change direction is completed by acting as CFO in OUTRO-4.

5. Proven learning, automatically built up every week

The engine of a lean startup is a rapid iteration of the cycle of build (Build), measure (Measure), and learn (Learn). Chapter 5 automatically aggregates weekly KPIs using Apps Script and time triggers, notifies you via email or Slack when they fall short, and even automatically generates a management report by putting 4 weeks of data into Gemini. Learning becomes a habit that is repeated.
