After working on different consumer products over the years, I’ve found that beginners often overcomplicate validation.
Here’s the simple framework I use:
1️⃣ Identify a very specific customer & problem
The narrower, the better.
2️⃣ Create a quick mockup or landing page
Visuals help people understand instantly.
3️⃣ Test demand in the real world
Tiny traffic tests, Reddit threads, or short-form content.
You should know within ~48 hours if you’re onto something.
Happy to break down ideas if it helps.
