It is difficult, especially in civic tech, to be able to test your assumptions against your target customers
Hypothesis
By bringing in a customer advisory board with 8-10 citizens who experience the issues we're exploring, teams will end up changing at least 1 part of their canvas to better serve their target customers.
Success Criteria
If 1/4 of teams change their problem or solution on their canvas after interviewing the customer advisory board, this will be considered a successful experiment.
Timebox
Friday-Saturday Sept 11-12 during the course of our event
How
We'll bring in an advisory board of 8-10 citizens with whom the problems we're tackling resonate. This should happen on Saturday morning prior to too much development, but after lean canvases have been completed.
We'll need to reach out to groups in the community (which @jmeisel is already doing) to recruit people passionate about attending the event (building a startup with open data), as well as people who are experiencing or are SME's in the problems we're planning to tackle.
