SOURCE EVIDENCE

Start with what users actually said

Reporter context: Affected Component Core Services (Frontend UI/Backend API) Describe the bug Description: When markdown content contains a code block (fenced with triple backticks) and that code block itself contains triple backticks as part of its content, the inner triple backticks are interpreted as closing the code block instead…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.
