Starter » a mental model

Availability Heuristic ↓

This bias is attributed to Daniel Kahneman who studied judgment biases in the 1970s and 1980s. The term was originally coined in 1973.

What is it? The availability heuristic is a mental shortcut where people judge the likelihood of an event based on how easily they can recall similar instances. It can lead to biases because vivid or recent events are more easily recalled, leading to overestimation of their likelihood. To avoid this, it's important to consider a broad range of information before making decisions. AKA: don’t jump to conclusions…

Action to take → broaden your perspective by seeking out diverse information sources.

Action to avoid → relying solely on vivid or recent events when making decisions.

Daniel Kahnemann

Ponder this →  Are you taking all information into account for this decision you are about to make? Think again.

Main course » founders.menu update

This week, I focused on creating a list of custom Notion templates that are already available to download. They are mostly for [0] Idea → Concept & [1] Concept → MVP stages – many more will follow.

FOUNDERS Lean Canvas – an actionable entrepreneur-first business plan to make sense of what you want to build early.

FOUNDERS Value Proposition Canvas – visualise the value you create for customers by understanding their needs. Then build a fitting business model.

FOUNDERS Assumption Junction – Brain-dump your biased assumptions and move your startup from clueless knowledge to convincingly validated knowledge.

FOUNDERS SPA Treatment – prioritize your potential customer segments and early adopters to know which to tackle first, next & later.

Alongside existing templates like BOOTSTRAP OS, CREATOR OS, Ideapad and many more, these are the first of many templates yet to come!

What’s next? Add product/listing detail pages & launch the founders.menu/blog to better rank the site on search engines.
