Appendix

A figure organizing books and documents on shelves

This section contains the editorial and style guides that shape how The Real Startup Book is written. They exist for two reasons:

  1. For contributors — so anyone adding a method, case study, or update can match the existing voice and structure without guessing.
  2. For readers — so the editorial choices behind this book are transparent. If you disagree with how something is framed, these documents explain why we framed it that way.
