Using Validation Scores
Validation scores are a guide, not a strict rule:
- High scores (80+): Prioritize these products
- Good scores (65-79): Consider if you have advantages
- Fair scores (50-64): Proceed with caution
- Low scores (<50): Avoid unless you have strong differentiation
Best Practices
- Validate multiple products before deciding
- Consider your unique advantages
- Use validation as one factor, not the only factor
- Combine with other research methods
- Re-validate as market conditions change
