Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

# Lean Startup Methodology

A systematic approach to building startups and launching new products that shortens development cycles and rapidly discovers if a business model is viable.

## Core Principle

**Entrepreneurship is a form of management.** Success doesn't require a perfect plan or brilliant insight—it requires a systematic process for testing assumptions, learning from customers, and iterating rapidly.

**The foundation:** Most startups fail not because they couldn't build what they planned, but because they built the wrong thing. The Lean Startup methodology applies scientific experimentation to eliminate waste and accelerate validated learning.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vandanaajaydubey111/great-pm/lean-startup@sha256:0642958a26928a0b

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
