Leaps Of Faith

What are we assuming (leaps of faith)?


  1. Technova would like to work with us.
  2. People need an easier way to choose clothes.
  3. It would give more confidence and save time.
  4. People would pay the price.
  5. People wouldn’t mind to spend time uploading the catalog.

The first leap of faith would suppose that we wouldn’t have to worry about renting an office and some of our fixed costs and decreases our break-even number. This would help us earn money faster as we would need less products to obtain benefit.

The second and third leaps of faith come from our proposition values being effective and true with out product. If they succeed it means that the intentions for which the product was created are fulfilled and we have achieved what we initially wanted. This leaps of faith can be somewhat tested through initial interviews but cannot be fully appreciated until the products release to the market.

The fourth and the fifth leaps of faith are the leaps we can actually test through the first interviews as they are features that the user's can have an opinion to before they actually have the product physically. 
We asked this to the user's and they agreed might be a bit high but they would buy the product if they could and we didn't find a single user who cared about spending time uploading the catalog to the DressUp Mirror. So this leaps could work out just fine.

Our main leap of faith is the last one, whether the user wouldn’t mind to spend time uploading their clothes to the mirror, which can take a while. Also, that people need an easier way to choose their clothes. 

What are the critical assumptions (the whole business depends on them)?

- People need an easier way to choose clothes.
- People would pay the price

Business Model Canvas

First Model Canvas The following image shows the first Model Canvas that we created for our project.  We quickly decided on our key partners, for we knew which materials we needed to create our DressUp Mirror, since the mirror is an open source project from Raspberry PI. The main issue for this one, that we later wanted to test were the key activities (whether to add more or not) and the customer segments (since we had two very different segments, we needed to see for which would our product work better). Changes to the First Canvas After directing the first few interviews and analysis from different possible competitors we saw that user’s mostly that the product attracted the women more than the parents, so we finally decided our main customer segment to be young women to get better results in the initial release of our product. We can always later expand our product and make a special edition for kids, but that would be later the road, and if it were nec...
