SOURCE EVIDENCE

Start with what users actually said

Reporter context: 🔴 Required Information Is your feature request related to a specific problem? Yes. Currently, ADK-Java only supports Google's Gemini and Claude models out of the box. Developers cannot easily use other LLM providers that implement the OpenAI Chat Completions API format, such as: Groq (fast inference with open models)…Excerpted from the public Issue. Read the complete thread before interpreting it.

01 · Product Capability

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.
02 · EVIDENCE INTERVIEW

Interview five affected users

  • 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?
At least three people independently describe the same painful workflow with recent examples.
03 · MINIMUM TEST

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.
04 · DECISION GATE

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
Do not let GitHub engagement replace direct validation.

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.
