Did you know that an estimated 60% of new products are off the shelves within three years? Turning an idea into a successful product isn’t a single “eureka” moment; it’s a disciplined, evidence-based journey. The process boils down to three core phases: validating your concept to confirm a real market need, building a minimal version (an MVP) to get it into users’ hands quickly, and launching it to the world to gather feedback for continuous improvement. This structured approach is your best defense against building something nobody wants.

It translates an ambitious vision into a concrete, actionable blueprint, preventing the costly rework that plagues so many projects.
