  3. Use ChatGPT, Claude or Grok plus your CRM or a spreadsheet to make the first version of the product for one type of customer.

  5. Make a one-page website that explains the problem, the fix and the price.
  6. Show it to 10 people from your target group and change what confuses them.
  7. Launch where those people already gather, then ask every new user for feedback.
