Product validation through a traffic-first KILL funnel filters ideas by traffic channel, existing demand, competition, revenue potential, personal interest, and MVP-ability to ensure focus on validated demand before significant investment.

A traffic-first methodology for opportunity discovery prioritizes new product ideas based on existing traffic channels and search demand, avoiding the build it and they will come fallacy by ensuring a primary acquisition channel exists before development.

You filter and rank new feature ideas by running them through a six-stage KILL funnel that evaluates traffic, demand, competition, revenue, interest, and MVP-ability, outputting a single recommended idea alongside a detailed log of killed concepts.
