Business Model Canvas

A tool describing on a single canvas how an organization creates, delivers and captures value, covering segments, value proposition, channels, relationships, revenue, resources, activities, partners and costs. It supplies the language to translate the business model into observable components.

It is a conversation tool, not an architecture one. It aligns a leadership team within a single session; it does not sustain traceability or governance, because its blocks are not formally related to one another. Useful as a starting point, insufficient as a repository.
