Why Sheets is a quietly excellent canvas tool
Cells enforce the method: one idea per line, short entries, no paragraphs. Duplicating the tab gives you one canvas per customer segment in two clicks, which is how professionals handle multi-segment models instead of averaging five audiences into one grid. And unlike whiteboard tools, the file exports back to Excel anytime, so the work is never locked to a platform.
Team workflow that works
Share with edit rights, fill in the numbered order starting at Customer Segments, and use cell comments for evidence: "3 customer interviews" reads very differently from "we think so". When the model stabilizes, print the preset one-page area for the wall, or step up to the Complete Toolkit when the revenue and cost blocks need to become actual projections.
