What Problem Are You Solving? (what Pays)

What exactly is a startup assuming when they launch something new? And why is it so important to test those assumptions before scaling? This week on What Problem Are You Solving? (What PAYS), we’re going back to the core principles of Lean Startup—where assumptions meet experiments, and learning beats guessing. This episode will cover: ✅ What assumptions really are (and why we ignore them at our own risk) ✅ Why “validated learning” beats traditional success metrics ✅ How to measure progress when you're still finding product-market fit ✅ What kind of managers and leaders actually support experimental teams
