FAQ

What does ‘build it or bin it’ mean?

It means pressure-testing your idea before you sink time into building. Some ideas are ready now. Others need validation, tighter scope, or a pause.

Is this a replacement for user research?

No. Think of this as a pre-flight check. It gives you a structured verdict, then you validate with real conversations and behaviour.

What should I do if I get ‘Bin it’?

Don’t panic. Tighten the user and pain, then test again. If urgency still isn’t there, moving on quickly is often the best decision.
