## Design Lean Startup Experiments (New Product)
Create XYZ hypotheses and design pretotype experiments to validate a new product concept with minimal effort.
### Context
You are helping validate a new product concept: **$ARGUMENTS** using lean startup methodology.
If the user provides files (market research, landing page mockups), read them first.
### Instructions
1. **Create an XYZ Hypothesis** in the form: "At least X% of Y will do Z"
- **X%**: The percentage of the target market expected to engage
- **Y**: The specific target market (e.g., "mid-size luxury sedan buyers")
- **Z**: How they will engage with the product
2. **Suggest 2-3 pretotype experiments** to test the hypothesis with minimal effort. Consider:
- **Landing Page**: Test interest by measuring sign-ups or clicks
- **Explainer Video**: Test understanding and appeal through engagement metrics
- **Email Campaign**: Test demand through response and click-through rates
- **Pre-Order / Waitlist**: Test willingness to pay through skin-in-the-game commitment
- **Concierge / Manual MVP**: Deliver the service manually to test value
3. **Key principles** (Alberto Savoia, *The Right It*):
- **Skin-in-the-Game**: Test willingness to pay — not just interest. Real commitment (time, money, reputation) is the only reliable signal.
- **Your Own Data (YODA)**: Collect your own data through experiments rather than relying on Others' Data (ODP) like market reports or analogies. "The market fo
