The problem

The slow, expensive way to find out.

Most new products are tested with money: a minimum order, a warehouse, and a wait.

  1. Guessing what people want.

    Ideas come from a hunch or a friend’s opinion, while the real evidence sits unread on Reddit, X, forums and in reviews.

  2. Making it first.

    Minimum orders and stock are paid for before anyone has said they want it. If they don’t, it sits on a shelf.

  3. Every test built by hand.

    A mockup, a landing page, an ad and a spreadsheet for each idea. Weeks per test, and no two tests measured the same way.

  4. Tests that can’t tell the ad from the product.

    Change the picture and the product at once, or let the platform pour budget into one early favourite, and you can’t say what people responded to.

How it works

From a hunch to real traction.

One framework, the same every time, so tests are fast and comparable. Luce does the legwork and suggests; nothing runs without your OK.

  1. Start

    Step 1: Start from your brand, or a new one.

    An existing brand brings its memory; a new one starts clean. Describe what you have in mind, or ask Luce to find your next product.

  2. Explore

    Step 2: It finds the demand.

    Luce reads Reddit, X, forums and reviews for what people keep asking for and complaining about, quoted and counted, and suggests what to make. On its own if you ask, or with as much of your input as you like.

  3. Shape

    Step 3: It shapes the concepts.

    For each idea: how the product looks, the promise it makes and the price to test. Concept visuals in your brand, before anything exists. Pick, edit or ask for more.

  4. Test

    Step 4: It tests them, with your OK.

    A page and an ad per concept, the same budget each, counting your measure: a paid deposit, a pre-order, a waitlist join. Meta ads today, made with Mona’s engine built in; X and Reddit come later.

  5. Read

    Step 5: It reads the numbers, clearly.

    Every concept compared: clicks for the ad’s pull, deposits for the product’s, cost per deposit. Read out in plain English, with a suggested next test.

  6. Decide

    Step 6: You make the business call.

    Whether to make it, how many, what to invest: always yours. Luce records what you decided and why, so the next test starts smarter.

A worked example

Which product next? One test, start to finish.

Drowsy, a sample sleep-gummy brand, wanted to know what to launch next. Luce found the demand, shaped three concepts and tested them. These are the numbers from the card at the top of this page, and what Luce does with them.

Luce’s read-out

  • Travel took the most deposits (19) at the lowest cost per deposit ($7.89).
  • Mist drew the most clicks (164, 4.04% CTR) but only 6 deposits: the ad pulled people in; fewer of them put money down.
  • Unwind sits in between: 11 deposits at $13.64 each.

Luce compares. You decide.

Luce tells you which concept people put money down for, with the numbers to back it, and suggests what to test next.

It won’t tell you to make it, how many to make or what to invest: that depends on margins, suppliers, cash and how sure you need to be. With counts this small, it also shows you how few people sit behind each number.

Luce FAQ

Questions about Luce.

More questions? See the full FAQ
What can Luce test?

Your next product: a new SKU, a new format, a new size or price, or a new promise for something you already make. Or a brand-new product for a brand that doesn’t exist yet.

Where does the demand evidence come from?

Reddit, X, forums and reviews: what people ask for and complain about. Luce can look on its own, or work from as much of your own input as you want to give it.

Will Luce tell me which product to make?

It shows which concept people responded to, and which they put money down for, with clear numbers, and can suggest what to test next. Whether to make it, and how many, is always your call.

Where do the tests run?

On Meta ads today. X and Reddit, paid or organic, come later. You set the budget and pay the ad platform directly, and nothing spends without your click.

Do I need Mona?

No. Luce has Mona’s ad engine built in for its tests. Mona on its own is for your everyday ads; if you use both, they share one brand memory.

Why paid deposits?

A click is cheap and a free waitlist join is light. A small refundable deposit or a pre-order asks people to put money down, so it says more about intent. You choose the measure for each test: a waitlist, a deposit, a pre-order or leads.

Find it. Test it. Then decide.
