In 2004, a small team at Google had a wild idea: what if ads were auctioned in real time, targeting users based on their search terms? That idea became Google AdWords, now one of the most successful advertising platforms in history, generating billions in revenue annually. But what set this idea apart from others? It wasn’t just creativity—it was careful evaluation, testing, and refinement that turned a spark of innovation into a revolutionary product.

Great ideas are the foundation of innovation, but not every idea is worth pursuing. Without proper evaluation, you risk pouring time and resources into concepts that may not deliver the results you need.
