Guided journey from raw idea to a validated, positioned, priced business with a chosen beachhead. Orchestrates ten skills phase by phase - jobs-to-be-done, mom-test, design-sprint, lean-startup, good-strategy-bad-strategy, blue-ocean-strategy, obviously-awesome, hundred-million-offers, monetizing-innovation, crossing-the-chasm - asking the user questions at every decision point and recording results in the project docs/ folder (CUSTOMER.md, POSITIONING.md, OFFER.md, CREATE-BUSINESS-PLAN.md) so…

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.

What the file says

# Create a Business

Take a raw idea to a business you can defend on every axis: who it is for, what job it does, why it is different, why it wins, what it costs, and why anyone would pay. This journey runs ten phases in sequence, looping back as evidence accumulates. It is interactive — the agent asks before every decision — and resumable: all state lives in `docs/` so you can stop and restart across sessions. The order is the point: demand before building, strategy before scale, price before product.

## Core Principle

**Earn your evidence before you spend your runway: demand before building, strategy before scale, price before product.** You can be wrong about your product in a week, or wrong about your business in a year — pick the week. This skill sequences the phases, asks the questions at every decision point, and records what you decide in `docs/`. The constituent skills carry the method — invoke them rather than improvising their frameworks.

## Journey Map

| Phase | Skill | Question it answers | Artifact |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | jobs-to-be-done | What progress is the customer really hiring us for? | Creates docs/CUSTOMER.md |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add wondelai/skills/create-business@sha256:2da65aaa976f03e4

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.1, 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.
