5-Step Search Plan

Run these from top to bottom. Stop after 5 searches or earlier if you cannot find real complaints.

Run these in order

Maximum 5 searches. Each row chooses the better platform for that step.

1. Broad complaint search

Start here. This checks whether people already describe the pain in their own words.

Googlesite:reddit.com "meeting notes" problem
2. Advice threads

Advice posts often contain direct pain, attempted workarounds, and missing context.

Googlesite:reddit.com "follow up" "any advice"
3. Native Reddit browse

Use Reddit's own ranking to browse thread titles and comments quickly.

Redditaction items
4. Tool gap

Look for people asking for an existing tool or workaround.

Googlesite:reddit.com Notion "does anyone know a tool"
5. Subreddit check: r/SaaS

Only narrow to a subreddit after broad searches show a useful pattern.
