Hi all --

I started a company a few years ago -- http://smartexperience.org/ -- and over time tried two different business models. The first was a leaner version of University continuing education, and the second was education via online video.

I've hit the Pause button on that business to pursue another opportunity, but looking back I can't tell if the business models didn't work, or if they weren't implemented well. For example, a great business model may not work without sufficient investment. And that investment may need to be allocated well. In my case we may have just needed a big marketing budget to gain momentum, but I'm not sure.

Do you have any way to evaluate the performance of a business model vs. its implementation?

Thanks,
Victor
