I understand the meaning and significance of testing the key assumptions,<p><i>In order for the idea to be viable, the key assumptions must hold true. These key assumptions need to be validated in initial user research</i> (in my own words).<p>But I am somewhat at a loss in listing out what the key assumptions actually are. For me it is just the solution to a problem that annoys me.<p>Any tips or links to useful resources will be much appreciated.
Even at the level of "make a startup to solve a problem", there are assumptions:<p>* other people have the problem<p>* the problem is worth paying money to fix<p>* the problem is actually solved by the offered solution<p>* the solution can be operated at a profit
