For a couple of years now, I've been developing features for a product that hasn't found product-market fit. Features that nobody _really_ gives a shit about. I can talk directly to one of the cofounders, bring them evidence based on analytics or the past failings of the giants upon whose shoulders we're standing on. His response is, majority of the time, "yeah, I get that. We promised this to a few customers and I really think it'll work". It hasn't worked.

You need to ask him to define success and failure for the feature. Under what conditions will he accept it has not worked

It's an iterative process. Our conversations have gotten better over the years. He has the connections and market knowledge so I have to respect his wishes most of the time. I make it sound bad but it's because I'm, like many of us, tired.

People like that are often immune to objective measures.
