Rival Test

Overview
The Rival Test is a competitor-based validation experiment where we test customer reactions to an existing competitor’s product to uncover unmet needs. At Future Foundry, we use this method when entering crowded markets, competing against incumbents, or refining differentiation strategies. Rather than building something from scratch, we observe how customers engage with competitor offerings, identifying frustrations, missing features, and unexpected behaviour. This allows us to design solutions that solve pain points better than existing alternatives.
