Know if a feature is worth building before you build it

Every roadmap has one item nobody is sure about. Describe it in a sentence or two and tell us who would use it, and see whether businesses like your users actually ask for it, how often, and whether that is growing. You get a clear verdict, the smallest version worth building, how to test it first, and who already ships it.

How it works

  1. Describe the feature

    Your product, the feature in a sentence or two, who would use it and why it is on your list. Two minutes, no account needed.

  2. See who asks for it

    Groups of businesses nearest the feature, each with how many asked for help lately and whether demand is growing. Pick up to three.

  3. Get your verdict

    For each pick: build it, not yet, or skip it, with the reason, the smallest version worth building, how to test it first, and who already ships it.

What you get

One feature, checked against up to three groups of businesses like your users. Here is a sample.

Sample

Build it: follow-up texts for unanswered quotes

Owners ask for texts that go out by themselves when a quote gets no answer, and stop the moment the customer replies or books. The smallest version worth building is two follow-ups on a timer with a stop on reply.

What to charge

Put it in a higher plan, or sell it as an add-on: you could ask about $10 a month per business, as our suggestion. With 50 businesses on it, maybe $500 a month, as a rough guess.

What it takes

About two weeks for one developer, with Twilio for the texts and one new settings page.

Your first move

Send the follow-ups by hand for ten users this month and count how many quotes get a reply.

35 businesses like these asked for help in the last 3 months, 17 of them in the last month.

In the report, each check goes on: why that verdict, the requests in the buyers' own words, who already ships it and what they leave open, the smallest version worth building, how to test it, and what to watch out for.

Questions

What do the verdicts mean?

Build it: businesses like your users clearly ask for it and there is room. Not yet: the need is real but thin, early or flat, or something else should come first. Skip it: almost nobody asks for it, or many products already do it well.

My customers asked for it. Why check?

A few loud customers can fill a roadmap. The check shows whether businesses like them ask for it too, how often and whether that is growing, so you know if you are building for many users or for one.

A competitor already has it. Should I copy it?

Maybe. The check shows who already ships it, what they leave open, and whether demand is still growing. Sometimes the answer is to do a smaller part of it better.

Can I check more than one feature?

One feature per report, seen from up to three groups of businesses. Start a new report for the next item on your list.

Does it work for consumer apps?

Not well. It reads what businesses ask for, so it fits products that businesses use. If your users are consumers, this report is not the right fit.

What is in the full report?

Every check you picked, in full, as a page in your account and a PDF: the verdict and why, the requests in the buyers' own words, who already ships it and what they leave open, the smallest version worth building, how to test it, how to charge for it, and the honest risks.

Report or chat?

Both read the same market intelligence. A report is the fast lane: a few simple steps and one focused question answered. Chat with Growhold's AI is the deeper path: ask anything, follow up, compare markets and turn findings into briefs and specs.

Where does the data come from?

From Growhold's market intelligence: what businesses across industries need, gathered from public sources and refreshed every day, plus thousands of launched products to compare against. It measures demand and how it moves, so it fits products that businesses use. We never show who asked for what.

When you want to go deeper

Your report answers one roadmap question fast. To keep going, ask Growhold's AI anything about the same market: check the next item on your list, compare groups of users, look closer at who already ships it, or turn the smallest version into a brief your team can start on.
