What is Product-Market Fit?

The Sean Ellis test gauges product-market fit by asking users how they'd feel if they could no longer use your product. If at least 40% say they'd be very disappointed, you likely have product-market fit.

PMF score = very disappointed ÷ total respondents × 100

How to read your result

  • Survey activated users who've experienced the core value, not signups.
  • 25–40% means you're close — segment to find who loves it most.
  • Below 25% suggests the product or audience needs rethinking.
