When to use it
Use this when community, Reddit, advocacy is relevant to Growth, Scale and you can run a bounded test with a low budget.
When not to use it
Do not use it as a substitute for customer evidence, a clear owner, or a measurable stop condition. Local platform rules and market behavior still need checking.
