Write the problem hypothesis
For [operator], the workflow fails during [condition], forcing [recovery work] and costing [time, money or trust].
You can name one user, one situation and one measurable consequence without proposing a feature.[Bug]: `qwen3.5-35b-a3b` with a `structured_model` raise `openai.BadRequestError`

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

Recruit: Recruit people who can show a recent, concrete example of the problem.
Guardrail: Measure behavior in the real workflow and keep a human review step for consequential actions.
Interview five people affected by this workflow
- Show me the last failure and its logs.
- What triggered it and how often does it recur?
- How do you detect it today?
- What does recovery require?
- What would a safe failure look like?
Run the smallest experiment
Add one narrow guardrail, retry or recovery path around the failing step. Replay three real failure cases and compare recovery time.
The same failure is recovered faster in three real cases without creating a new incident.Measure behavior in the real workflow and keep a human review step for consequential actions.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
Why this brief exists
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.
