Hi Hamza, I usually dig deeper into it by asking additional questions about their background (because previous experience affects greatly how people perceive your product)

Also, you can ask for get an external perspective from other founders / makers on Reddit's r/SaaS (Weekly Feedback Thread) or on reviewlab.app — the platform I'm working on rn
