Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the same Superhuman product market fit survey?

Yes. This is the exact Sean Ellis survey (product market fit survey) from Rahul Vohra's First Round Review article. We've automated the analysis to help you measure product market fit instantly.

How many responses do I need?

At least 40 responses for directional accuracy. Survey users who've engaged with your core product at least twice in the past 2 weeks. More responses = better data.

What if my PMF score is below 40%?

That's normal! Superhuman started at 22%. The framework shows you exactly how to improve: segment to your champions, understand what they love, fix gaps for convertible users, repeat.

How is this different from NPS?

NPS measures satisfaction. PMF measures if people would be "very disappointed" without your product. PMF is a stronger predictor of retention and growth. You should track both.
