Steve Blank’s Petal Diagram vs. Rod King’s Value Engine Map: Visual Tools for...
About a week ago, the startup world got ablaze from reading Steve Blank’s blog post, “A New Way to Look at Competitors.” In the blog post, Blank notes that the traditional Competitive Graph – which focuses on differentiating offerings of “Our Company” vs. “Our Competitors” - is “inappropriate for startups or existing companies creating new markets.” Blank goes on to offer a Petal Diagram which places a given company (startup) in the core of a flower while segments of competitors are place in petals that surround the core. But how useful is Steve Blank’s Petal Diagram especially for startups?
Judging from feedback including Tweets and Facebook Likes on the Internet, the response to the Petal Diagram is extremely positive. Many readers note that the Petal Diagram offers benefits including the following:
# great way to communicate a startup’s position and opportunity especially to investors (Venture Capitalists)
# segmentation of an existing market while showing sources of future customers as well as potential competitors and partners
# visually appealing way for investors to see growth opportunities for a startup
# linkage to business model innovation especially using the Business Model Canvas
Although feedback on the Petal Diagram is generally great, some people are critical of the form and usefulness of the Petal Diagram especially in presenting proposals to investors. Perhaps, the strongest critique of the Petal Diagram comes from fellow Venture Capitalist, Tomasz Tunguz who blogged on: “Why the Petal Diagram Isn’t the Best Competition Diagram for Startup’s Pitch.” Tunguz’s main critique was “petal diagrams don't communicate the startup's unique way of competing in the market.” In short, the Petal Diagram is not useful for Brand Positioning, Value Proposition Design, Competitive Analysis, and Benchmarking. Consequently, it would seem like the Petal Diagram has to be used in conjunction with the classic Competitive Graph to present a wholesome picture of a startup’s opportunity and strategy. Or ... can we visually reframe the classic Competitive Graph so that it offers its original features as well as all the features and benefits of the Petal Diagram? I believe that we can. Yes, we can.

Zhao zi shuo the catcher in the rye
The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger tells the story of Holden Caulfield, a teenager who has been expelled from boarding school. He spends three days in New York City, feeling alienated and disillusioned by the adult world. Holden wants to protect children's innocence but also experiments with adult behaviors. By the end, he realizes he cannot shield kids forever and must accept reality. Critics debate whether his maturation is positive or a sign of society's oppression. Like Huck Finn, Holden struggles to understand the world while seeking stability and independence in this influential coming-of-age novel.

Causes of the French Revolution
The French Revolution was caused by several intellectual, political, social and economic factors. Intellectually, the growing middle class was influenced by Enlightenment ideas and aware of the American Revolution's success. Politically, the bourgeoisie wanted more power, while the Sans-Culottes sought to overhaul the old regime. The indecisive King Louis XVI further weakened the monarchy. Economically, debt from wars and the costs of Versailles drained the treasury, while droughts and high food prices impoverished many. The immediate cause was the government's bankruptcy and inability to address the economic crisis.
Causes of the Age of Exploration
The document summarizes the key causes and motivations of the Age of Exploration between 1450-1648. Technological advances in navigation, shipbuilding, and mapmaking enabled more extensive exploration. Motivations included the desire for glory, religious factors like spreading Christianity, and most importantly, economic gain by establishing trade routes and finding resources like gold in the Americas. Advances began with European adoption of Muslim sailing techniques, and influential explorers like Da Gama and Columbus opened new trade routes and accidentally discovered America seeking routes to Asia for trade.

Hanukkah
Hanukkah is an eight-day Jewish festival commemorating the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in 165 BCE. It celebrates a miracle in which a one-day supply of oil for the temple's menorah lasted eight days. Common Hanukkah traditions include lighting a menorah each night, eating foods like latkes and jelly doughnuts, playing games with a dreidel, and exchanging gifts.
Human Development and Progress
The document discusses how Charles Darwin and Sigmund Freud challenged Enlightenment ideas about human development and progress through their discoveries during the Intellectual Revolution. Darwin published his theory of evolution by natural selection in Origin of Species, which contradicted the idea that humans were in control of change. Freud founded psychoanalysis and argued that the human brain develops unconsciously in ways not always rational, challenging the view that humans are fully rational. Their discoveries forced a reexamination of humanity's role and provided the basis for today's scientific outlook.
Chromosomes
Chromosomes are DNA molecules that are tightly coiled around proteins called histones. They contain the cell's genetic information and are only visible during cell division. Chromosomes are found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, though in eukaryotes they are located in the nucleus and in prokaryotes they are found in the nucleoid. They are essential for cells because they allow the transmission of genetic information between generations.
