REPEATED ACROSS 12 PROJECTS
Related friction appears in 12 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: Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I’d like to add support for OpenAI models using the LiteLLM simple proxy. This will expand the model compatibility of adk-java to include OpenAI endpoints via a standardized proxy interface. Describe the solution you'd like -The plan is to use Java's HTTP…Excerpted from the public Issue. Read the complete thread before interpreting it.
Recruit: Recruit teams with live traces, tool calls or deployment constraints from a real agent workflow.
Guardrail: Test observable state transitions, permission boundaries and recovery from partial failure.
Interview five agent-platform engineers or technical operators
- When did you last need this?
- What outcome were you trying to reach?
- What did you use instead?
- How often does this occur?
- What commitment would prove it matters?
Run the smallest experiment
Deliver the outcome manually or with a narrow prototype before building a reusable feature.
A user completes the real workflow and commits time, data, distribution or budget to repeat it.Test observable state transitions, permission boundaries and recovery from partial failure.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

Information has value only when it changes action. This page turns one public signal into a bounded validation exercise. It is a research aid, not proof of demand, investment advice or a product recommendation.
