Reddit product research: finding roadmap evidence before you build

Use Reddit product research to understand feature demand, workflow friction, alternatives, and objections before roadmap decisions.

Research the workflow, not only the feature

Users often ask for features because an underlying workflow is painful. Product research should capture the job, workaround, context, and urgency.

Compare requested features with behavior

Feature requests are stronger when users mention paid alternatives, manual work, repeated failures, or switching between tools.

Turn research into a roadmap artifact

A useful product research brief includes the evidence pattern, affected segment, competing workaround, confidence level, and the next validation step.
