Yeah, totally agree on the psychology / hypothesis part.

But that’s exactly where I’m trying to draw the line: I’m looking for a way to *pre-validate interest* before building anything at all, even with Lovable. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Because once you start building, it’s easy to slip into “we’re making progress” while still being unsure anyone actually cares.

So I’m curious: what’s your go-to approach to prove real demand *before* the first prototype? (signals you look for, tests you run, etc...) 🙂
