Frame Decisions: validating pain points

Validating pain points through decision framing is an underused approach. Most founders jump to 'would you use this' instead of 'what decisions are you making without the right information.'

For solopreneurs, the decisions problem is particularly acute. They're making 20-30 business decisions a week across clients, projects, and revenue - but almost none of those decisions are being logged or tracked. A year in, they have no institutional memory of why things were built or changed.

Building a Solopreneur Notion OS that includes a dedicated decisions log as a core database, linked to projects and client CRM. Would love to know what decision-tracking behaviors you're seeing in your validation work.

Hi Paulina, try what I built to solve the real issues for founders and builders like you : meldgtm dot space. What I thought was that all builders would like to hear the real voices from market but I also knew that too many fake news and buzz out there. Meldhive is actually collect real voices from the market and believe or no, people out there already talked about the real pains that you aimed to solve. So find them, sort them, make them structured to be used by builders and founders like you. That matters.

The validating pain points first is the smartest way to build. Most founders skip this and end up building something nobody wants.

Since you are already gathering data from analytics leaders, you should join the Validation Arena (tokyolore.com).
