Step 2. Build: projects are designed by means of the green business canvas
Step 3. Test: Seeking to gauge assumptions separately, a progressive approach is adopted to testing in increasingly real market conditions.
Step 4. Implement: Once the model is market-validated, the time comes to plan the functioning and development of the project, by projecting it into the future and making estimations of sales, costs and other resources needed (financial plan)
Step 5. Measure & improve: Lastly, as business is run (operations), a continuous improvement system is put in place by measuring impact in initial objectives and by looking for areas of improvement.
