It's just as useful to figure out what not to do.

As your experience increases, so will your ability to spot opportunity, and combine the breadth of your experience into something entirely unique.

This is not a process that ever reaches a conclusion, but a model to overlay on the experiments we run — to figure out which ones to run again, and which ones to drop.
