Arrange the following boundary conditions in the correct sequence that influences the effectiveness of the lean startup methodology: A) Team composition, B) Business education, C) Engagement levels, D) Lean startup adoption.

Business education comes first because it gives the team a shared understanding of markets, finance, and strategy, which is the foundation for any startup work. Next, team composition matters because the right mix of skills, experience, and trust determines how well ideas can be tested and pivoted. After that, engagement levels—how motivated and involved the team and customers are—drive the speed and quality of feedback loops. Finally, lean startup adoption takes place once the team is educated, well‑assembled, and highly engaged, allowing the methodology to be applied effectively. For example, a group that studied entrepreneurship, includes designers, developers, and marketers, keeps everyone excited, can then adopt lean experiments to grow a product.
