Validating a digital product idea in Türkiye

Define a target user, a concrete problem and a small experiment before adding more features.

Excitement about a product idea can quickly become a feature list. Before implementation, make room to understand the need it is intended to address.

Who are you helping?

Describe more than age or profession. What is the person trying to do, which process do they currently follow and where do they struggle? A contextual problem is easier to evaluate than assuming that everyone will use the product.

Ask independently of your solution

Rather than presenting the idea and asking whether it sounds appealing, explore the current workflow. How often does the person perform the task? Which information is missing? Why do they choose an alternative? Record answers without steering them toward confirming your proposal.

Build a small experiment

A screen, a form or a manually operated process can help investigate a behaviour before the full product exists. State the intended observation beforehand. The goal is to expose a key assumption rather than simulate every detail.

Carry the result into a decision

An experiment need not answer everything. Separate supported assumptions from remaining uncertainty, then choose a smaller follow-up or change the scope. This article makes no claim about market size or investment trends; it offers a method for examining your own product idea.
