What is IdeaTest?
IdeaTest.io is an open-source platform designed to help companies validate product and business ideas using real customer insights instead of assumptions.
The platform combines AI-assisted research with proven innovation frameworks such as Jobs to Be Done (JTBD) and Outcome-Driven Innovation® (ODI). It helps teams identify unmet customer needs, evaluate market opportunities, and build stronger positioning before investing heavily in development.
Originally developed in a real industrial innovation context together with Remion, the approach has already been used to evaluate more than 30 innovation concepts and support data-driven product decisions.

Why This Approach?
Many product ideas fail long before development begins — not because the technology is wrong, but because the real customer needs were never properly understood.
IdeaTest.io focuses on identifying:
- What customers are actually trying to achieve
- Which problems matter most
- Where the biggest unmet opportunities exist
- Whether the market is ready for the solution
Instead of relying on guesswork or fragmented feedback, the platform creates a structured workflow for collecting, prioritizing, and translating customer insights into actionable product and go-to-market decisions.
The approach combines:
- Customer need analysis (JTBD / ODI)
- Maturity and readiness evaluation
- Commercialization and positioning thinking
This helps teams move from assumptions to evidence-based decision making.
