111
112**Core insight:** [insight statement]
113
114### 3.3 Insight validation checklist
115
116Verify the insight is actually an insight and not just an observation:
117
118| Criterion | Pass | Fail |
119|-----------|------|------|
120| **Specific** — Specific to this audience, not generic? | [ ] | [ ] |
121| **Hidden** — Customer would not say it spontaneously? | [ ] | [ ] |
122| **Actionable** — Can be turned into messaging / creative? | [ ] | [ ] |
123| **Emotional** — Hits emotion, not only logic? | [ ] | [ ] |
124| **True** — Backed by data / observation, not assumption? | [ ] | [ ] |
125
126**Rule:** Must pass at least 4 / 5. Otherwise it is an observation, not an insight. Mine again.
127
128**Distinguish:**
129
130- Observation: "Women 25–35 care about skincare" — everyone knows this, nothing new.
131- Insight: "They buy serum not to have better skin — they buy a moment of self-care after an exhausting day." — emotional, actionable for creative.
