Small batch experiments beat big launches
Short plays win when you need learning and outcomes quickly. Shipping small, measuring, and iterating is the only reliable way to build a real business from scratch.
Why big launches fail
- They rely on assumptions that haven't been tested.
- They delay the most important part of the loop: feedback.
- They increase the emotional and financial cost of being wrong.
The small batch approach
Start with the smallest possible version that can produce a "yes" or "no". Not a "maybe".
- Identify the core risk.
- Build a system to test it.
- Measure the response.
- Iterate or move on.
Execution is about speed to learning.
