The opinions I would like to gather from you is what percentage of interviewed clients would you consider a success worth proceeding further?
Thanks and Merry Christmas to everyone !!
Go have a look at the websites of some venture firms. At least them list all of the portfolio companies they've ever had, even if they've exited. Now look into whether those companies failed, were acquired, whether the IPO worked out well and so on.
That's going to be a lot of work but would be valuable information for everyone to know. If you wrote up on article about it on your site, you'd get lots of readers, inbound links, maybe press coverage.
My concern is only at the experiment or interview level. If you ask 100 people, how many should be enough to proceed spending time/money on further analysis?
Do you think 70% of positive feedback is pretending too much??
Loosely speaking, the reason we humans find the Universe so hospital to us, if that if the Universe were not hospitable to humans, we wouldn't be here to wonder why.
In reality, the vast majority of planets are completely unsuitable for life, not just intelligent life - too hot, too cold, too small, and so not enough gravity for an atmosphere &c.
Just goes to show you, any idea can succeed... to a degree, at least.
Happy holidays to you, too.

Not familiar with washboard. I will check it out.
Another interesting case is the founder of SnapInspect. He asked realtors if they would pay in advance for this solution. A few did... and now it seems to be doing very well.
