How do you validate your course idea?

The fastest validation I've seen work: post in communities where your ICP hangs out, ask a specific question tied to the problem your course solves, and see who engages with depth. Genuine pain shows up in how people respond - length, specificity, follow-up questions.

For Notion-based products specifically, validating at the 'system' level vs. the 'template' level matters. People will say yes to a template but they pay for a system that solves a workflow problem they have right now.

Validating a Solopreneur Notion OS right now using exactly this approach - community comments asking about ops pain points (CRM, project tracking, revenue visibility). Seeing strong signal from solo founders at /bin/bash-5K MRR. What problem does your course idea solve, and have you found the conversations that confirm the pain is real?
