"Collective Empowerment: Engaging with Community Validation in my Blogging Journey"

Before seeking validation from the community, my team formulated three questions for use in the validation process. The three questions are as follows:

1. Would you want a food delivery service here in CMU?

2. Do you like it if your store will be one of our featured shops in our delivery app?

3. Would you give a priority or separate lane for our delivery riders? Hypothesis: My team would like to see if the stores in the market will agree on the questions we ask before continuing with our validation procedure. If not, we would like to find a solution to convince the shops to agree.

Kape Barato was the first shop which my team validated. Ken was the one who asked the survey questions. According to the shop owner, they would agree on a food delivery service for CMU. She also agreed to feature their shop on our website and offered a priority lane for our delivery riders.

Next is i interviewed the owner of Karenderia for up to five minutes. The owner has answered all of my questions in a positive approach. The owner believes that having an online food delivery service allows them to reach more customers and sell more food or products, which significantly boosts sales.

Kenneth Abellar conducted the following interview in Sungkab, a karenderia. Popular in the industry for its unique plating—in which people eat directly from the pot—Sungkab is a well-known restaurant. Also, the owner said she completely agree with the survey's questions.

Also i am starting making website for this project so that i have more time to think on what to put or what design should i use to make the website more attractive, Also to finish the website or application on time. CONCLUSION: Henceforth, we affirm our progression to the next stage of the validation process, involving a more thorough exploration. The team has opted for a commission-based approach for our venture. Drawing inspiration from the local delivery service, Food Panda, our decision aligns with this model. Negotiations for commission rates with the shops will be a key aspect, and our priority is to ensure equitable compensation for our riders.

The insight gained from the validation process emphasizes the importance of allocating more time for thorough validation. The questions posed seemed somewhat incomplete, with only three questions being asked. I am optimistic that our team will improve in subsequent attempts. Most importantly, I appreciate the unity within our team and hope we can successfully navigate and pass this subject. Looking forward to the next opportunity!

Empowering Voices: Community Validation in my Second Blog Journey

Prior the community validation, my team prepared three (3) questions to be used during the validation process. These are the three questions;

1. Would you want a food delivery service here in CMU?

2. Do you like it if your store will be one of our featured shops in our delivery app?

3. Would you give a priority or separate lane for our delivery riders?

Hypothesis: My team would like to test if the shops in the market will agree on our questions, then we will proceed to our validation process. and if not, we would like to find an intervention to make the shops agree.

Kape Barato was the first shop my team was able to validate. I was the one who asked survey questions. According to the shop owner, they would agree on a food delivery service here in CMU. She also agreed on featuring their shop on our website and they would give a priority lane for our delivery riders.

The second shop we validated was Kobe Kopi, a coffee shop, in which Janmarc Pulmones was the one who ask our questions in which they also agreed.

The third shop was interviewed by Kenneth Abellar, it was a karenderia, Sungkab. It is one of the famous karenderia in the market because of it's unique plating, in which you will eat directly from the pot. The owner also agreed on our survey questions.

The last shop we validated is a karenderia. Earlryd Bontuyan was the one who asked the survey questions. The owner also agreed upon answering our survey questions.

CONCLUSION: We therefore conclude that we would proceed to the next step of our validation process in which we will dig deeper. The team has made a decision in which our venture will be commission-based. The team chose the commission-based delivery service because our business venture is inspired from the local delivery service, Food Panda. The commission will still be negotiated from the shop and we will ensure that the commission will be fair for our riders.

The lesson that I learned upon validating is that, the team should have made more time on validation. The questions we also asked was also hanging, in a way that we just asked 3 questions. I hope the next validation will be more concrete, concise, and comprehensive. I hope we can do better next time. Above all, I really like how our team worked as one. I hope we can make it through and pass this subject. 'til next time!
