Fake-door & smoke tests
When to load this mode
The user wants to know if a new product, feature, price point, or positioning has demand before they spend weeks building it. Load this whenever someone says "should we build X," "would people pay Y for this," or "is there a market for Z."
What a fake-door test is
A fake-door test puts the product in front of strangers as if it already existed and measures whether they walk through. The door doesn't open yet — the click, the email, the pre-order is the signal you're paying for. You're buying behavior, not opinion. A survey returns the answer respondents think makes them look reasonable. A landing page returns the answer the visitor's actual hand gives.
