So let's say you have an idea.

You evaluate the idea against the CENTS commandments and arrive at the conclusion that it mostly fulfills all of them. Your doubt is in the Need commandment. How do you go about getting rid of that doubt?

In other words, how do you know if a product/service is really needed. Do you scratch you own itch? Do you go to forums and try to understand if people complain about something your product/service solves ?

What are your favorite strategies for handling this problem?
