01 / IdentifyEvidence before expansion
01 / Identify
Find the friction that matters.
Start with the work people cannot do well today. Study who faces the problem, how often it occurs and what they already use to get around it.
The test: is this need specific enough to build around?
02 / Prove
Put the product under real use.
Build the smallest useful version and place it in the hands of intended users. What they return to, pay for and depend on matters more than a polished presentation.
The test: does the product change a real outcome?
03 / Establish
Give the venture room to endure.
Once the product proves useful, shape the team, delivery model and economics around it. Growth should strengthen the work already happening.
The test: can the company deliver reliably as demand grows?
