Good validation sounds like“Tell me about the last time this happened.”

Demand check

Test the problem before you perfect the solution.

Mark only what you can support with evidence. Your score is a research prompt—not a forecast.

0/ 100
Research first

Start with conversations. Look for a recurring, costly problem in the customer’s own words.

Profit scenario

Make the economics visible.

Change the assumptions, then ask whether the required sales volume is realistic for your niche.

The focused roadmap

Four stages from hunch to repeatable offer.

1

Narrow the customer

Choose a group with shared context, language and buying triggers.

Output: one-sentence customer definition
2

Hear the problem

Run 5–10 interviews about recent behaviour, not future intentions.

Output: evidence notes and exact phrases
3

Test the offer

Ask for a meaningful commitment to a specific outcome and price.

Output: pilot, deposit or clear rejection
4

Build the smallest version

Deliver manually, learn what matters, then improve the repeatable pieces.

Output: a real result for a real customer

Lean by design

Evidence is cheaper than inventory.

Use interviews, pre-orders and manual pilots to learn what customers value before you automate, manufacture or scale.

Straight answers

Before you commit time or money.

No tool can guarantee a winning business. It can help you make the next decision with better evidence.

What makes a niche specific enough?

You should be able to describe the customer, recurring problem, current workaround and desired result. “Fitness” is broad; “mobility coaching for desk-based new parents” is testable.

Do I need a completely original idea?

No. Existing competition can be evidence that people pay. Your job is to serve a clearer customer, context or outcome—not to invent a category from nothing.

How many interviews should I run?

Five thoughtful conversations usually reveal language and patterns; ten or more give you more confidence. Keep going until answers stop surprising you.

When should I build a website or product?

After you can state the offer clearly and have evidence of intent. A simple page or manual pilot is often enough to test the next assumption.
