Introducing the Quantified Pain Histogram
The Quantified Pain Histogram is a tool designed to enhance customer discovery by quantifying pain points that potential customers experience. This bar chart represents similar individuals along the x-axis and the severity of their pain, quantified in dollar amounts, on the y-axis. By focusing on pain rather than the traditional count of interviews, startups can direct their efforts towards identifying real customer needs. This approach aims to eliminate the common pitfalls of customer discovery that often lead to wasted time and resources.
