Original Summary

You need to ask the right questions to the right customers. Sean Ellis popularized a simple PMF test: Ask users: “How would you feel if you could no longer use our product? Very disappointed Somewhat disappointed Not disappointed A result of 40% or more saying “very disappointed” is a useful early signal, not proof of PMF. Here's how I'd use it: Survey customers who have experienced your products core value. Ask what they value most. Identify which customer segment loves the product. Investigate what's missing for everyone else. Repeat the survey as the product evolves. Don't treat 40% as a universal pass/fail score. Combine it with retention, repeat usage and willingness to pay. The goal isn't to prove everyone loves your product. Its to discover who needs it most. Seed-stage founders: how many paying customers do you have today?
