Feature Teaser
Overview
A Feature Teaser is a lightweight product validation experiment where we introduce a non-functional feature button inside an existing product or platform to gauge user interest before developing the actual capability. At Future Foundry, we use this method to test demand for new features before committing engineering resources. Rather than launching a fully functional feature, we place a “Coming Soon” or “Request Access” button inside a real user flow. If users repeatedly click on it, it’s a strong indicator of demand. If engagement is low, we avoid wasting resources on unnecessary development.

Process
We first identify a high-impact feature hypothesis, ensuring it aligns with existing user needs. A simple UI element (e.g., a greyed-out button, signup form, or teaser modal) is introduced in the product interface, giving users the option to engage. Once live, we monitor click-through rates, request volumes, and follow-up interactions to measure how many users actively express interest. If the uptake is strong, we will proceed with the development. If few users engage, we refine messaging or reconsider the feature’s necessity.

Requirements
This experiment requires an existing product, UI/UX implementation, and analytics tracking to measure user behaviour. The strongest validation comes when users proactively request access or inquire about the feature’s release date.
