everyone wants products, few want vision.

everyone receives products, they ask for better vision.

I don't buy it. People don't want products or vision, people want to be a certain way or do certain things.

I found, build, advise, consult and invest in startups. My jam is product market fit. - acen.ai & something in stealth.

mmh. isn't that a product?

way X things = f(x)

People's wants are a separate concept from the things that can satisfy their wants.

A carpenter doesn't want a quarter inch drill bit, they want a quarter inch hole.

The benefits/impact/outcomes are what people want. The way they want to be, the goals they want to accomplish, jobs to be done, tasks to complete. It's the progress and avoidance of friction (things they don't want to do).

The products that enable the progress are secondary. Soon as the person stops wanting the progress the product is no longer valued. The product is a means, the progress is what matters. It's what people actually want.

Can you help me understand how that differs from a product (math or idealistic)? 

Trying to see if I’m missing something.
