FAQ
What does the generator actually deliver?
It compiles your four inputs into a structured launch plan covering positioning, MVP scope, traction channels, and KPIs—ready to paste into decks or project tools.
How detailed should my answers be?
Add concrete numbers and target personas; richer detail yields a more actionable outline because the language model can mirror your specificity.
Can I iterate on the same campaign?
Yes. Re-submit revised inputs whenever you pivot; comparing versions helps you track learning cycles, a core Lean Startup practice (Ries, 2011).
Is the framework relevant outside tech?
Steve Blank’s customer-development loop applies to hardware, services, and nonprofits because it focuses on validated learning, not code (Blank, 2020).
How do I measure success?
Set one North-Star metric—e.g., monthly active users—and three supporting metrics; review them weekly to spot retention gaps (Mixpanel Benchmarks, 2023).
Do I need marketing expertise?
No. The tool supplies structure; you supply domain insight. “In the early stages, your only job is to learn, not to scale” — Steve Blank (Blank, 2013).
What’s a good customer-acquisition budget?
Financial models suggest allocating 10–20 % of projected first-year revenue to acquisition for consumer startups (Gartner CMO Survey, 2022).
Can I export the plan to other software?
Copy the generated HTML text and paste it into Notion, Google Docs, or project-management boards; formatting remains intact across editors.
