Write the problem hypothesis
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 agentscope-ai/agentscope, a General AI project.
Related friction appears in 2 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: Could you please check the Security suggestion? I report 3 weeksExcerpted from the public Issue. Read the complete thread before interpreting it.
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.
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.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 behavior in the real workflow and keep a human review step for consequential actions.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.
