The Ultimate Pre-Launch Checklist to Test Demand Before Writing Code

Code is expensive. Validation isn't. Before you commit a single line, we recommend 10 checks that our platform automates. Founders who complete this checklist are 3.4x more likely to ship something that earns revenue in month one.

• Run a Demand Sonar scan. Minimum acceptable Demand Score: 62.
• Verify at least 5 distinct demand clusters (meaning multiple groups of people want slightly different versions of the solution).
• Check that Transactional Intent across clusters is ≥22%.
• Map 3 exploitable gaps in the top 3 competitors. Document the effort/impact ratio.
• Confirm that Reddit frustration intensity score is above 55/100.
• Generate the Sonic Report and look for a Confidence Level above 80%.
• Export the One-Page Validation Report. Sleep on it. Re-evaluate in 24 hours.
• If demand is positive, build a landing page with the exact problem language surfaced by the AI.
• Drive 200 visitors (via $50 in targeted ads) and measure waitlist conversion. Aim for >8%.
• If waitlist conversion clears threshold, start coding. If not, pivot the phrasing, not the idea. DemandSonar handles the first 7 items in under an hour. That leaves you 23 hours to test with real humans, not gut feelings. [Get the checklist auto-filled for your idea →]
