Emilia Hi, welcome to Europe Builds. I'm Emilia.

Erik And I'm Erik.

Emilia For this Barcelona edition, imagine someone genuinely likes a hypothetical product pitch. How would you know if they'd ever actually adopt it?

Erik Suppose you ask what specific workflow they'd change tomorrow. If nothing in their day-to-day shifts, that early encouragement might just be politeness.

Emilia Right. If an early prototype feels intuitive, that still leaves the question of whether it tackles an urgent daily friction.

Erik Exactly. An easy interface helps, but it might not matter if the core problem isn't something users care to solve.

Emilia That's our focus for this show: walking through design trade-offs, testing early assumptions, and exploring how teams weigh hard choices.

Erik And being open about uncertainty. When an early concept is untested, we want to look at both the promise and the risks.

Emilia We'll also look at competing perspectives, from validating early feedback to deciding when a proposed feature adds genuine value.

Erik There are plenty of nuanced questions ahead about what helps an idea stand out. We're excited to dive into the conversation.
