Their primary mission is to find out what customers ultimately will buy. One of the central premises of The Lean Startup movement is what Ries calls \"validated learning\" about the customer. It is a way of getting continuous feedback from customers so that the company can shift directions or alter its plans inch by inch, minute by minute.
