This is a neat idea, and there may be some enlightening bits of feedback, but it won't tell you what matters, and that is if people, in a specific audience will like the product.

Sign ups and likes are very noisy singals.

There's just nothing that can take the place of market validation, so the 'new standard' model of 'release early' is probably the best way.

Sometimes it takes a while to find the right user base and to get fit.

I agree different levels of "skin in the game" mean different signal.

Simple link click is pretty lousy signal and I would ignore it.

I think email is okay. Phone number is probably better. Somebody putting their credit card is really good.

I didn't mention all of that for brevity. But you could device a point based grading system based on what signal you get.

No, none of those things are 'really good' - because none of them have even tried or looked at the product.

A product is a million bits of detail, impossible to discern in a web page.

If you're selling basic widgets, with basic function - sure. By by and large, software is not that.

I’ve done ok with a link to a calendly on the email marketing campaign - you’d be surprised how many people we up for a chat! And as a bonus it solves the awkward timezone issues for me and im not tempted to take 2am calls to be nice!

That's a really interesting idea!
