• Validate or update your understanding of customer Jobs-to-be-Done
• Uncover the exact language customers use to describe their problems
• Test whether your proposed solutions resonate with real customer needs
• Discover unexpected use cases or alternative applications for your products
• Understand the emotional and social dimensions of purchasing decisions
• Validate assumptions in your marketing strategy before major investments
• Uncover reasons for churn or lack of adoption that surveys miss
