What’s a business model?
A business model describes the rationale of how an organization creates, delivers, and captures value, in economic, social, cultural or other contexts.
Business model = revenue model – cost model
The revenue model breaks down all the sources of revenue that your business will generate.
The cost model identifies how you are spending your resources to make money. It includes your cost of goods sold (COGS) and your operating expenses.
Business Model has 9 components

Hypothesis Testing
A hypothesis is a way of taking a scientific question and turning it into testable prediction.
A good hypothesis is important because it leads to good experimental design. Good experimental design is important because you need it to properly validate or invalidate what you’re doing.
“What is the simplest thing we could do here to prove our hypothesis?”
The key outcome of an experimental approach is measurable evidence and learning.

Hypothesis Testing
The basic structure is this:
I believe [target market] will not [do this action / use this solution] for [this reason].
A good hypothesis must be:
Written down in advance
Be falsifiable Is there a test after which the hypothesis could turn out to be wrong? If not, it's not a falsifiable hypothesis or in other words: It's not really a hypothesis
Be testable
Be quantifiable

9. Hypothesis Testing
Examples:
I believe that East Coast U.S.-based investors will read at least
one article per week on NextMontreal because they have a
growing interest in the Montreal startup ecosystem.
I believe that people will not want to download their content to
have a separate place in case of being audited or canceling an
online service.
More people would catch the train if they got an SMS message
15 minutes before they needed to leave.
If we add logos of our existing customers to our landing page, it
will convey trust as a key value proposition to Bernie, our
customer persona, and he will sign up.
Potential partners will not be willing to fill out a lead sheet
when they view a partner page explaining our 3 key value
propositions.
Customers are only willing to pay a max price for a hotel based
on the time of day they book.
