## 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.
