Write the problem hypothesis
For [team], moving data between [system A] and [system B] requires [manual work], causing [delay or errors].
You can name one user, one situation and one measurable consequence without proposing a feature.The batch method from ChatModels and all the Runnables does not really support the OpenAI batch API.

REPEATED ACROSS 10 PROJECTS
Related friction appears in 10 independent repositories. This is stronger than one backlog item, but still requires direct user validation.
Project strength and demand confidence are measured separately.SOURCE EVIDENCE

Reporter context: Checked other resources [X] I added a very descriptive title to this issue. [X] I searched the LangChain documentation with the integrated search. [X] I used the GitHub search to find a similar question and didn't find it. [X] I am sure that this is a bug in LangChain rather than my code. [X] The bug is not resolved…Excerpted from the public Issue. Read the complete thread before interpreting it.
Recruit: Recruit people who can bring a recent literature, evidence-review or source-tracing task.
Guardrail: Measure citation accuracy, coverage and review time; never reward speed at the expense of source fidelity.
Interview five researchers, analysts or librarians
- Which systems must exchange data?
- What triggers the handoff?
- Which fields or permissions block it?
- How is it handled today?
- Who owns failures between systems?
Run the smallest experiment
Manually operate or prototype one high-frequency connection for one team before building a general connector.
A user completes the real cross-system workflow twice and asks to keep the connection active.Measure citation accuracy, coverage and review time; never reward speed at the expense of source fidelity.Make a build decision
- Build: repeated pain and active commitment
- Narrow: pain is real but the audience or job differs
- Stop: weak frequency or no behavioral proof
