Bulk workflow gaps are mentioned 3× more by Enterprise accounts and correlate with the highest NPS drop this quarter. This is your highest-ROI discovery area.

How it works

Start with the people using your product.

Hear about friction before users give up and churn

  • An always-available feedback form and targeted questions at friction points let users tell you what's in the way, in the moment.
  • Every signal is attached to a known user with plan, tenure, and feature usage — so you know which cohort is struggling.
  • Feedback Intelligence groups friction feedback into topics with sentiment, without any manual tagging.
  • Combine friction feedback with explicit requests to build a complete picture of unmet need.

From feedback to action

Find the themes worth exploring.

Validate ideas with real users before engineering starts

  • Run a concept-validation survey to the exact user segment most likely to use the feature.
  • A/B test two concepts simultaneously — compare interest, sentiment, and willingness scores.
  • Small sample sizes (N=50+) are enough for directional confidence on most discovery questions.
  • Send validated concepts straight to a ticket in Jira, GitLab, or GitHub.

Product Discovery

Find what to build — before you write a line of code

Encatch surfaces unmet needs through always-on feedback, targeted surveys, and AI synthesis — so your discovery work starts with evidence, not assumptions.

Always-on feedback

An always-available feedback form plus targeted questions at friction points, so users can tell you what's in the way the moment it happens.

Cohort-based need analysis

Segment unmet needs by plan, tenure, feature usage, or region. Find exactly which cohort is underserved.

Concept validation

Test ideas in the product before any design or engineering work begins. Run A/B concept surveys against a targeted segment.

Discovery brief with your AI

Save a discovery prompt and run it in ChatGPT or Claude with Analyse with your AI. Automatic weekly briefs are coming soon.

Feature request signals

Feature requests collected in-product are grouped into demand clusters with Feedback Intelligence, not a flat list of asks.

NPS open-text mining

Open-text follow-ups from NPS detractors are grouped into topics with Feedback Intelligence, alongside your other discovery feedback.

Discovery survey templates

Pre-built survey templates for JTBD interviews, concept tests, and onboarding feedback — launched in minutes.

Product Insights dashboard

One view of feedback volume, friction trends, and request clusters — with filters for any segment.

User identity on every signal

Every signal is attached to a known user. Filter by plan, account, or cohort to understand who is underserved.

A little more detail

Product discovery, answered

What is product discovery?

Product discovery is the process of validating what to build before committing engineering time, using evidence like user feedback and friction signals rather than assumptions.

How does Encatch help with product discovery?

Encatch asks targeted users about friction and unmet needs right inside the product, segments the answers by cohort, and groups them into topics with Feedback Intelligence. A saved discovery prompt in Analyse with your AI turns them into a brief in ChatGPT or Claude.

Can I validate a concept before building it?

Yes. Encatch lets you run in-product concept tests and targeted surveys to validate demand before committing engineering resources.
