04 / YOUR NEXT QUESTION

What remains to be verified?

The following are research questions, not established market opportunities.

  • What do target users actually pay for? Is there direct user feedback or paid interview evidence?
  • Are these historical prices still active today? What are the conversion, retention, and fulfillment costs?
  • Is the "SEO" channel still viable? What resources do indie devs need to test it?
  • Whose needs are competitors failing to meet? Find specific evidence before deciding on your angle.

05 / BUSINESS EVIDENCE
