The Challenge

Assumptions Are Expensive

Building products based on assumptions about what customers want is one of the most expensive mistakes companies make. In healthcare, where development cycles are long and regulatory stakes are high, getting it wrong can be catastrophic.

The typical approach — building first, then testing demand — leads to products nobody wants, features nobody uses, and go-to-market strategies that miss the mark.

Demand validation flips this script. Talk to real buyers before you commit. Understand not just whether they'd theoretically want your product, but whether they'd actually buy it — and at what price.

What You Get

What Demand Validation Delivers

De-Risk Your Investment

Know there's real demand before committing development resources. Kill projects early or double down with confidence.

Optimize Pricing Strategy

Understand willingness to pay, price sensitivity, and value drivers. Set pricing that captures value without leaving money on the table.

Identify Adoption Barriers

Learn what will stop customers from buying — procurement hurdles, integration concerns, switching costs — before they become surprises.

Sharpen Your Value Proposition

Understand which features matter most and which are nice-to-haves. Build messaging that resonates with actual buyer priorities.

Key Validation Questions

Problem Validation

Does the problem you're solving actually exist? Is it painful enough to justify action and budget allocation?

Solution Fit

Does your proposed solution address the problem effectively? Would buyers choose it over alternatives?

Willingness to Pay

What price can the market bear? What's the perceived value relative to current spending?
