The problem
Not for lack of effort. Usually one assumption nobody tested is quietly costing more than everything else combined.
Where it stalls
01
You are guessing that someone wants this. Guesses do not survive first contact with a real market.
Market validation03

Go-to-marketWhat it costs
Building on assumptions

Solving the wrong problem
Polished, shipped, and aimed at a problem nobody was paying to solve.
Missing the window
The window opens once. Slow, unfocused launches let it close before you arrive.
