For this reason we built the Tabbed Inbox through a series of build-measure-learn loops, which are called Steps in GIST. There were usability tests, longitudinal studies, fishfood and dogfood, labs, and partial launches. Each step generated a more complete version of the product, but also gave us new evidence, which helped build our confidence in the idea and get more funding. We used what we learned in each step to course-correct and improve the idea. The feature we eventually launched was profoundly better than the one we started with.
