You've got it right. People say a lot of things that aren't true about themselves. Especially when you're asking them hypotheticals. Surveys have their uses, but they are not proof.

The only solid evidence that you have a real business is that you get money from people for something you did for them. So you get that evidence with the smallest experiment possible. That's the MVP.
