For [specific user], completing [job] is difficult because [missing capability], causing [measurable consequence].
You can name one user, one situation and one measurable consequence without proposing a feature.Evidence observed in flyteorg/flyte, a Productivity project.
Related friction appears in 5 independent repositories. This is stronger than one backlog item, but still requires direct user validation.
Project strength and demand confidence are measured separately.Reporter context: Flyte & Flytekit version Helm chart: flyte-binary v1.16.4 Image: ghcr.io/flyteorg/flyte-binary-release:v1.16.4 Describe the bug When using the flyte-binary chart with CloudWatch logging enabled, the generated CloudWatch link on the Flyte UI for a task is incorrect.

Recruit: Recruit people who repeat the task every week and can show their current calendar, notes or coordination workaround.
Guardrail: Measure repeated use and time returned across two cycles, not a one-time demo completion.

You can name one user, one situation and one measurable consequence without proposing a feature.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.Measure repeated use and time returned across two cycles, not a one-time demo completion.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.
