## Domain Context
### Startup Canvas vs Business Model Canvas vs Lean Canvas
Popular approaches like Business Model Canvas (Strategyzer) and Lean Canvas (Ash Maurya) mix strategy and business model into one artifact. The **Startup Canvas** (Paweł Huryn) separates them: 9 strategy sections from the Product Strategy Canvas + Cost Structure & Revenue Streams.
**Why not Business Model Canvas?**
- No vision — why should your team wake up every day?
- No Can't/Won't test — what stops competitors from copying you?
- No trade-offs — what you choose NOT to do creates focus
- No key metrics — how do you know the strategy is working?
- Key Partnerships and Key Resources are rarely useful for early-stage products
