How it works
Generate research prompts
Each category produces specific, industry-tailored research leads phrased as questions to answer, not settled facts.
Validate with real sources
Every lead needs a dated, named source before it becomes part of your market thesis — the scan finds the questions, you find the evidence.
Frequently asked questions
Does this tool pull live trend data?
No — it generates a tailored research checklist based on your industry and audience. You still need to validate each lead against real, dated sources.
Which trend category matters most for an MVP?
It depends on the product, but technology and behavioural trends typically move fastest and affect early-stage demand the most; regulatory and economic trends matter more for capital-intensive or regulated industries.
How often should I rescan?
Every 6-12 months, or immediately after a major shift in your industry (new regulation, major competitor launch, funding environment change).
What is a "behavioural" trend in this context?
A shift in how your audience discovers, evaluates, or pays for solutions — for example, increased reliance on peer reviews or a shift from one-time purchases to subscriptions.
Should I research trends that hurt demand, not just help it?
Yes — the tool intentionally frames leads as open questions so you also catch trends that could shrink your market, not only ones that validate your idea.

MVPHub generates a structured, categorized research checklist tailored to your inputs. Google Trends shows real search-volume data but no categorized checklist; a general AI assistant can brainstorm trends but without a consistent four-category framework.
