Market Validation

Definitions

1. Evidence that a real market wants the product enough to adopt, pay, or materially engage with it. Market validation is stronger when it comes from behavior rather than compliments or survey enthusiasm.

   In plain English: Proof that the market actually wants the product.

   Example: "The pilots were useful, but paid renewals provided the real market validation."
