## Process
### Step 1: Demand Evidence Collection
Audit demand across 6 evidence channels:
| Channel | What to Look For | Evidence Quality |
|---------|-----------------|-----------------|
| Community forums (Reddit, HN, Discourse) | Problem-statement posts, workaround discussions | Medium -- shows real pain |
| Review mining (G2, Capterra, TrustRadius) | 1-3 star review complaint patterns, missing feature mentions | High -- verified buyers |
| Search demand | Volume for problem queries vs. solution queries (gap = unmet need) | High -- quantifiable |
| Support tickets | Recurring themes, feature requests, workaround patterns | High -- your own customers |
| Analyst reports | Problem statements, unmet need callouts, market gaps cited | High -- expert validation |
| Adjacent product requests | Features use
