Innovation accounting works in three steps:
* First, use a minimum viable product to establish real data on where the company is right now. Without a clear-eyed picture of your current status—no matter how far from the goal you may be—you cannot begin to track your progress.
* Second, startups must attempt to tune the engine from the baseline toward the ideal. This may take many attempts.
* After the startup has made all the micro changes and product optimizations it can to move its baseline toward the ideal, the company reaches a decision point. That is the third step: pivot or persevere.
