    The Problem with AI Tools Today

    "I spend more time figuring out WHAT to test than actually testing."

    "ChatGPT gives me ideas, but they're too generic. I need something specific to MY business model."

    "Every session I explain everything again. Like I have amnesia."

    "I've tried 5 different frameworks. They all make sense in theory, but I can't stick to any of them."

    LEANSpark solves all of these

    Context that persists. Methodology that sticks. Guidance that's specific to YOUR business model.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What makes LEANSpark fundamentally better than using ChatGPT or Claude with your playbooks?

    Structure, not just knowledge. Generic AI tools are conversational—they respond to what you say. LEANSpark is systematic—it runs structured processes.

    Try this experiment: Upload my playbooks to ChatGPT and ask for a Business Model Design assessment. You'll get thoughtful advice. But try again tomorrow with the same canvas—you'll get different advice. Ask it to score your model 0-10 across 7 dimensions—the scores will drift. Tell it you're pivoting—it won't remember your previous models or experiments.

    LEANSpark works like Claude Code for business models: Code can be tested. Business models can be scored. Experiments create data. Your validation history builds persistent context that gets smarter over time—not conversation memory that drifts.

    LEANSpark doesn't just advise, it executes: Loads your canvas → Runs 7-dimension assessment → Detects mixed models → Generates focused variants → Asks permission → Updates your canvas. Repeatable. Testable. Systematic.

    Generic AI optimizes for sounding helpful. LEANSpark optimizes for systematic validation.

    Did you actually use LEANSpark to validate LEANSpark?

    Yes. Built in public through 6 Over-the-Shoulder episodes.

    I used LEANSpark's 7-dimension stress-testing on my own business model, ran 90-day validation cycles, and documented the entire journey on YouTube. 209 founders joined for early access.

    Results: 0 → 209 early access customers. $36K revenue validated. Product roadmap clarified through systematic validation.

    This is the same framework you'll use. Same stress-testing. Same 90-day cycles. Same decision frameworks.

    Does LEANSpark maintain context across sessions?

    Yes. LEANSpark builds a persistent memory of your business model, metrics, and experiments across all sessions.

    Every conversation, assessment, and validation cycle adds to your project's context. The more you use LEANSpark, the smarter it gets about your specific business—spotting patterns, remembering past pivots, and connecting insights across your entire validation journey.

    What exactly do I get and when?

    Immediate:

    • Over-the-Shoulder series - Watch real validation unfold weekly

    January 2026:

    • LEANSpark early access launches
    • Your 90-day validation cycle begins (250 credits/month)

    After Your First 90-Day Cycle:

    • $50/month to continue with 250 credits/month (cancel anytime)
    • 100% money-back guarantee until January 31, 2026

    How does the January 2026 rollout work?

    Two ways to get access:

    1. Preorder early access: $150
    Lock in your 90-day cycle before public launch. Batched onboarding starting January 15th. Priority queue based on preorder date.

    2. Monthly subscriptions: February 2026
    General monthly signups open in February ($50/mo for 250 credits). Early access members keep their preorder pricing and priority support.

    We're doing batched rollout to learn, fix issues, and improve the product between batches. This ensures quality over speed.

    What kinds of tasks can LEANSpark handle?

    LEANSpark is designed to handle both routine tasks like Lean Canvas reviews and updates, as well as transformative work like experiment design and insight mapping that require deep methodology understanding.

    Does LEANSpark integrate with my existing models on LEANFoundry/LEANSTACK?

    Yes, it will. We started prototyping with a standalone terminal version for speed and simplicity, but the end goal is to have it coexist alongside your models and data inside LEANSTACK.

    You'll be able to run it standalone and pull your data from LEANSTACK, or use it directly within the platform—whichever fits your workflow.

    What happens if I run out of credits?

    You can purchase top-ups anytime (50 credits for $30, 100 for $55, 250 for $125). Credits never expire.

    Is LEANSpark secure?

    Yes. LEANSpark accesses your models and data using OAuth and APIs—industry-standard secure authentication.

    LEANSpark also asks for permission before making any changes to your models. You stay in control.
