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: Hi, thanks for releasing this great project. This is a feature request rather than a bug report. I ran into a limitation when trying to use Paper2Poster with a third-party OpenAI-compatible provider instead of the official OpenAI endpoint. Current behavior: The documentation mainly describes using and examples with…Excerpted from the public Issue. Read the complete thread before interpreting it.
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.
Interview five operators or knowledge workers
- 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 repeated use and time returned across two cycles, not a one-time demo completion.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
