Write the problem hypothesis
For [team], moving data between [system A] and [system B] requires [manual work], causing [delay or errors].
You can name one user, one situation and one measurable consequence without proposing a feature.openclaw plugin: auto-retain silently does nothing after OpenClaw reloads the plugin registry (recall keeps working)

REPEATED ACROSS 5 PROJECTS
Related friction appears in 5 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 teams with live traces, tool calls or deployment constraints from a real agent workflow.
Guardrail: Test observable state transitions, permission boundaries and recovery from partial failure.
Interview five agent-platform engineers or technical operators
- 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.Test observable state transitions, permission boundaries and recovery from partial failure.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
