Nobody wanted those products but they did want the problems solved that those products addressed.

IMO, focus on the problems - those often exist before the solutions have manifested.

The tricky part is to learn the exact problems and not some confused second-hand ideas about what/where they are. Sure there are people with good consulting instincts, but in general you can only solve problems that you’ve experienced firsthand.
