I was listening to a podcast by @mattwensing and his co-founder Peter.
They both had key assumptions on why their businesses should exist. They use them when times get hard or they need a confidence boost.
I think it is a great way for IHs to think about their businesses.
I look forward to seeing your replies in the comments.

Versoly - Easily build a SaaS marketing site that actually converts
Key assumptions:
It improved a lot from the last time I checked it. Good job! I would change "roles" with "people", when you describe who can benefit from using Versoly
What CMS are you using for the blog?
Thanks!
We used Ghost and converted it to a static site using wizardry :)
Looks great.
I understand that it is far from being a priority for you, but the possibility to add a blog would be great.
Once a paying customer asks for it we will work on it asap :), that is our motto at the moment.
It is also on the roadmap and should get done in the next 8 weeks.
I am interested in this for zohunt.com. Any article on how to convert Ghost to wizardry?
We used https://www.npmjs.com/package/ghost-static-site-generator then I wrote a custom python script to fix some issues it had.
Your product is awesome! Better than almost everything I've tried. So much potential. Maybe you can introduce a paid marketplace for people to provide their own configurable components. ;)
You have read my mind :), that is on the roadmap, complex pricing tables is the first thing to come to mind. I have seen cool demo pages as well.
I recall the other thread about IH's helping each other. I think brainstorming online / providing feedback might be a useful thing to do. Perhaps we should host a regular online meetup for that. ;)
@AntCas hosts https://www.indiehackers.com/post/15475103af which is good.
There is also https://dialup.com/
It is hard to get people to meetup from what I have seen.
Thanks for the shoutout Volkan 😁
For anyone interested, our next meetup is on the 12th and Courtland will be there answering questions.

B2B SaaS Marketing Playbook — The no-fluff, tactical marketing playbook for B2B SaaS Founders
Key assumptions:
Not assumptions, but I put together a quick Google doc to remind me why my idea has legs and how big the market is.
I call it the "When I Get Discouraged" doc - maybe some indie hackers would find it interesting.
This is a great idea! I struggle with discouragement sometimes as well, it might be a good idea to put something like this together for myself. Thanks for the inspiration!
Very nice. I like the charts.

Was just thinking about how to track my jobs the other day. This looks so simple and awesome. 👏🏻

I made these assumptions while reading the "The Mom Test" book.
If the project were to fail, what would kill it?
What should be true to be a huge success?
Privasim.com -, Privacy Oriented Apps and Services listed in one place. Also provides a simulator about data collection to create a need to End User.
Key Assumptions:
Proofreading note on the homepage, should be "simple" instead of "simplistic".
1brand.co - Easy brand guidelines that are better than PDFs
Key assumptions:
• Branding is a key advantage for those that do it well, and this is increasingly true as markets become saturated.
• Agencies offer tremendous value with their branding, but their cost structures are out of reach for many SMBs.
• If we can build software that makes branding more efficient, more effective, and more accessible, then everyone wins.
