Put up a landing page offering free private jet flights and thousands sign up.
A landing page with email capture tells you someone clicked a button. That is curiosity, not demand. If you put up a landing page offering free private jet flights, thousands would sign up. It does not make it a business. A waitlist tests curiosity, not viability, and you will get the sign-ups, feel validated, then spend months building something nobody pays for.
Ten people describing the problem in their own words, and one person willing to do the ugly manual version with you, is better validation than two hundred email sign-ups from strangers who will never open your launch email. Demand only means something once there is a product and a price attached.
Real validation answers what a landing page cannot: who specifically pays, what they pay for the workaround now, what competitors miss, how you price it, and the smallest thing worth building. ShipFit measures willingness to pay at a real price point, not clicks. That is the difference between feeling validated and being right.

I put this into try shipfit.ai. It runs an idea through 9 decisions with real data before you commit.
