Product Signal

Three independent demand signals: What people want fixed (Q15), what's wrong with their tools (Q18), and what they volunteered unprompted (Q25). Where these converge = strongest product-market fit signal.

Q15: "If You Could Fix ONE Thing..."

What People Want Fixed

Fix Type: What KIND of Change Do They Want?

We're building a behavioral system — software that shapes habits, protects focus, and manages capacity. Behavioral + system + tool fixes are in scope. Mindset-only or purely social fixes are gaps.

%

want a behavioral, system, or tool fix

Addressable by a behavioral system — software that shapes habits, protects focus, and manages capacity. The rest want pure mindset, social, or structural changes.

One-Thing Clarity

Did they actually pick ONE thing? Focused = they know their problem. Scattered = they're still lost.

Implied Features (Verbatim)

What product feature would address their fix? These are respondent-grounded descriptions — not our projections.


Q18: "What Do You Dislike About Your Tools?"

Tool Pain Categories

Missing Capabilities

What people wish their tools could do. These are your feature roadmap signals.

Product Direction (Derived from Tool Pains + Missing Capabilities)

Instead of a binary "simpler vs more powerful" axis, this derives product direction from what people complain about (q18 tool pains) and what they wish existed (q18 missing capabilities).

Ideal Tool Descriptions (Verbatim)


Q25: "Anything Else?" — The Blindspot Detector

Product Signal

Direct evidence: are people asking for what we're building?

Emotional Disclosure Depth

How vulnerable did people get? Vulnerable disclosures = strongest signals of real pain.

Unprompted Topics

What did Q25 reveal that the rest of the survey missed?

Unasked Pain (Verbatim)

Pain the survey didn't ask about — respondents brought it up themselves.

New Revelations

respondents (%) revealed pain NOT covered by Q8–Q18

These are your blindspots — problems the survey wasn't designed to find.


Cross-Signal: Sentiment Across All Questions

How does emotional tone shift from "what works" (Q8) to "what blocks" (Q13) to "what I want" (Q15) to "tool complaints" (Q18) to "unprompted sharing" (Q25)?
