Translation: Lean Startup Concierge/Wizard of Oz MVP. For anyone wanting to learn or refresh about that, here's a descent article I just Googled up (I reviewed a few and picked this one): https://grasshopperherder.com/concierge-vs-wizard-of-oz-test/

There are two similar but different methods.
Concierge Test is used to understand the mechanics, not user demand.
Wizard of Oz (aka Mechanical Turk) is used to evaluate hypotheses.
The more detail in the post by Tristan Kromer below.

I came here thinking I would see detailed Busines models. I might be biased as I'm working with the Business Model Canvas right now. If you're looking for a way to build your own here's a link: http://www.businessmodelgeneration.com/canvas
