Validate Businesses with Confidence

Turn uncertainty into evidence-based decisions with our comprehensive collection of business validation experiments. Whether you're validating market demand, testing product features, or verifying your business model, find the right experiment for your needs.

Why Validate

Business validation is the systematic process of reducing risk by testing your assumptions with real evidence. Rather than building a complete product or solution based on guesswork, validation experiments allow you to:

  • Save time and money by identifying issues early

  • Make data-driven decisions instead of relying on opinions

  • Focus resources on the most promising opportunities

  • Build with confidence based on real user feedback

How to Use this Resource

1 / Identify what you need to validate

Is it desirability (do customers want it?), feasibility (can you build it?), or viability (can it be profitable?)?

2 / Consider your constraints

How much time and money can you invest in validation?

3 / Select appropriate experiments

Use our selection guide to find the right methods for your specific situation.

4 / Execute and learn

Follow our experiment instructions to gather actionable evidence

5 / Iterate based on findings

Use what you learn to refine your approach
