Interview five affected users
- Screen-share the task without guidance.
- Where do you first hesitate?
- What did you search for?
- Which error or concept is unclear?
- What workaround finally unblocked you?
Run the smallest experiment
Create the smallest example, diagnostic or setup assistant and observe three developers using it unprompted.
Three developers finish the task with fewer interventions or measurably less time.Make a build decision
- Build: repeated pain and active commitment
