Identifying viable business ideas that people actually want to pay for

Entrepreneurs and builders struggle to validate whether their product ideas solve real problems people will pay for, leading to wasted months building solutions nobody wants. Current methods like surveys and focus groups are unreliable because people don't accurately report their willingness to pay. Founders need a way to surface genuine, urgent problems from real people expressing actual purchase intent.
