01 · Human approval & safety

Write the problem hypothesis

For [specific user], completing [job] is difficult because [missing capability], causing [measurable consequence].

Done whenYou 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?

Done whenAt 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.

Behavioral proofA 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

RuleDo not let GitHub engagement replace direct validation.
