REPEATED ACROSS 7 PROJECTS
Related friction appears in 7 independent repositories. This is stronger than one backlog item, but still requires direct user validation.
Project strength and demand confidence are measured separately.SOURCE EVIDENCE

Recruit: Recruit people who can bring a recent literature, evidence-review or source-tracing task.
Guardrail: Measure citation accuracy, coverage and review time; never reward speed at the expense of source fidelity.
Interview five researchers, analysts or librarians
- Which systems must exchange data?
- What triggers the handoff?
- Which fields or permissions block it?
- How is it handled today?
- Who owns failures between systems?
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 citation accuracy, coverage and review time; never reward speed at the expense of source fidelity.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
