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 completed workflow, time saved or a real distribution commitment; do not treat clicks or compliments as proof.Make a build decision
- Build: repeated pain and active commitment
- Narrow: pain is real but the audience or job differs
