Customer Interviews
Talk to potential customers to validate the problem exists and understand their current solutions and willingness to pay.
MVP Development
Create a minimum viable product (MVP) with just enough features to test your core value proposition with early adopters.

Iterate & Refine
Based on feedback and data, refine your idea, pivot if necessary, or proceed with confidence to full development.
