More than one study published last year by Una Mc Cann and George Ricaurte claiming significant risk from even a single dose of MDMA/Ecstasy are being retracted, after it turned out that one vial labelled MDMA actually contained Meth Amphetamine. Dr Charles Grob of UCLA said "Many of their studies have had seriously flawed methodologies. They've had questionable data interpretation and misleading conclusions. So we would strongly encourage a thorough review of the studies, both recent and over the last 15 years, run by that program." (War On Drugs) (more)

Ash Maurya is working on moving from the Lean Canvas to process/tools helping structure the assumptions/risks/experiments that it contains: he's calling this the "Lean Stack". You start out by drawing a line in the sand with your initial Lean Canvas, prioritizing risks, and systematically testing those risks through experiments. There is a built-in learning feedback loop from experiments back to risks back to the business model. While this process works conceptually, I often field questions from other entrepreneurs specifically on how to: correctly prioritize risks and define experiments; track those experiments so it scales over time (and with more people); reflect the learning from experiments back on to the canvas.
