Most bad product decisions come from looking at too few metrics or relying too heavily on one estimate.

The strongest product research compares a small set of metrics that together show whether the opportunity is attractive and realistic.

Start with demand and market movement

Demand-related movement is one of the most important starting signals because it tells you whether buyers actually want the product.

However, demand is much easier to use when viewed alongside price stability and competitor context.

  • Demand movement
  • Pricing context
  • Review depth

Use metrics to rank product ideas

Metrics become most useful when they help you compare several products with the same framework.

That makes it easier to narrow the shortlist and spend more attention on the strongest candidates.
