Triangulate demand validation across revenue tools, trend data, and viral content platforms
Don't rely on a single validation source. Cross-reference revenue estimation tools (like Sensor Tower), trend data (Google Trends), and content virality (TikTok/social) to confirm both market size and distribution channel viability. If all three signals align, you've de-risked the opportunity significantly.
When to use
Before building consumer apps or mobile products where both market demand and organic distribution matter. Use when you need confidence in both monetization potential and acquisition channels.
Don't do this
Validating on only one dimension (revenue OR trends OR virality) and missing misalignment between market size and reachability. Building in a monetizable market with no distribution channel, or a viral niche with no revenue potential.
