// built on growth research
PersX draws from validated research in lean methodology, decision science, and behavioral economics to measure what actually drives growth.
Lean Startup Methodology
Ries, E. (2011)
Build-measure-learn cycles minimize wasted effort. Our execution and market readiness dimensions measure these habits.
Thinking, Fast and Slow
Kahneman, D. (2011)
Cognitive biases affect every business decision. Our decision making dimension and blindspot detection are inspired by this research.
Essentialism
McKeown, G. (2014)
Doing less but better drives results. Our focus meter and growth leverage dimension measure disciplined prioritization.
The Four Steps to the Epiphany
Blank, S. (2005)
Customer development before product development. Our market readiness and customer avoidance blindspot draw from this framework.
