GrowthDex operator note

When to use it

Use this when Product Hunt is relevant to 0-100, 100-1K and you can run a bounded test with a free 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.

Founder checklist

  1. Read producthunt.com and identify what is directly supported.
  2. Choose one channel context: Product Hunt.
  3. Define the test around one observable customer behavior.
  4. Set an owner, evidence window, and stop condition before launch.
