When to use idea validation
Different tests answer different questions. An interview can explore a problem; a prototype can test an interaction. Neither automatically proves willingness to pay.
Choose the assumption you need to test before choosing the artifact you will build.
A practical example of idea validation
A builder suspects organizers struggle with bookings. They ask about recent booking problems before showing a prototype, then note which assumptions remain unresolved.
