- Recruit ten trial homes1 hour 30 min
This step produces your first asset: a list of three to ten homes where you will clean at cost or for free in exchange for a timed session and honest answers. The tricky part is reading these people correctly — friends and family are the least like your paying market, so the value of each trial is the timing you record and the straight “would I pay for this” answer, not the compliments you collect afterward.
After each trial, add three facts to the list: the minutes each room took, the size of the home, and the honest answer to “would you pay for this, and what would make you say yes.” Keep total supply spending at pocket money — your own products plus at most a few dollars per trial on consumables.
