Feedback request (on a product video & validation process)

I once heard that Amazon writes a press release for new products that they are thinking about creating to circulate internally and to small audiences to see if they can get anyone to care. We did a video version of this and would love feedback on the product.

It's kind of "Fitbit for your work hours" - it measure where your digital time goes (from meetings to MS-Word to Facebook), how distracted you are, and gives you tools to make the time you have more effective. Would love feedback!

I kinda did this at my last company to really good effect and am trying it again-- basically taking some Figma prototypes and some early prototyped software and making a "commercial" for what we're building. It's been a fascinating exercise-- we basically did a sprint with 2 people in about a week and a half to produce this... Not a small investment for a tiny company like ours, but it was really valuable. Would love your feedback!

The video is a bit long at 4min-- the plan is to take the results of the survey and trim the video to show the features that resonate most. With that more-focused video, we'll create a landing page and probably some more interviews.

Obviously, like a lot of techniques, this is a better measure of "pitch-market-fit" than "product-market-fit", but it's a start.
