🌀 KiwisMedia Weekly 09: Validation is a mirage
You can’t validate something that doesn’t exist. You can’t validate an idea. You can’t validate someone’s guess. You can’t validate an abstraction.
How do you know if what you’re doing is right while you’re doing it? You can’t be.
You can only have a hunch, a feeling, a belief. And if the only way to tell if you’ve completely missed the mark is to ask other people and wait for them to tell you, then you’re likely too far lost from the start. If you make products, you better have a sense of where you’re heading without having to ask for directions.
There’s really only one real way to get as close to certain as possible. That’s to build the actual thing and make it actually available for anyone to try, use, and buy. Real usage on real things on real days during the course of real work is the only way to validate anything. And even then, it’s barely validation since there are so many other variables at play. Timing, marketing, pricing, messaging, etc.
Truth is, you don’t know, you won’t know, you’ll never know until you know and reflect back on something real. And the best way to find out is to believe in it, make it, and put it out there. You do your best, you promote it the best you can, you prepare yourself the best way your know-how. And then you literally cross your fingers. I’m not kidding.
You can’t validate something that doesn’t exist. You can’t validate an idea. You can’t validate someone’s guess. You can’t validate an abstraction. You can’t validate a sketch, or wireframe, or an MVP that isn’t the actual product.
