💡 Why Use This Canvas
Most failed AI projects don’t fail because of the model — they fail because the idea was vague, the prompt was under-defined, or the expectations were unrealistic.
At Lumina AI Studio, we’ve scoped dozens of LLM-powered builds for both lean startups and growing companies. This is the template we use to start every successful project.
