Its nine building blocks connect customer segments and value propositions with channels, customer relationships and revenue streams, then test whether key resources, key activities and key partnerships can support that promise at an appropriate cost structure.

Rivalry considers the intensity of competition for the same customer need; supplier power considers dependence on scarce inputs, platforms or specialist partners; and buyer power considers customers' ability to compare, switch or negotiate. The framework also tests the threat of new entrants and the threat of substitutes, meaning alternative ways customers can solve the underlying problem rather than merely another direct competitor.

Product clarifies the offering and the customer problem it is intended to address. Price tests the logic of how value may be charged for, whether through a transaction, contract, subscription, licensing arrangement or another model supported by the eventual company scope. Place considers the routes by which customers can discover, obtain or receive the offering. Promotion considers messages and communication channels that make the proposition understandable.

Technological developments may alter how value is delivered, while Legal factors may create compliance obligations and Environmental factors may influence resource use, supply choices or stakeholder expectations.
