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.Evidence observed in zhayujie/CowAgent, a Productivity project.
Related friction appears in 10 independent repositories. This is stronger than one backlog item, but still requires direct user validation.
Project strength and demand confidence are measured separately.Reporter context: Self check [x] I searched existing issues (incl. closed) — no duplicate.

Recruit: Recruit people who repeat the task every week and can show their current calendar, notes or coordination workaround.
Guardrail: Measure repeated use and time returned across two cycles, not a one-time demo completion.
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.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.Measure repeated use and time returned across two cycles, not a one-time demo completion.Information has value only when it changes action. This page turns one public signal into a bounded validation exercise. It is a research aid, not proof of demand, investment advice or a product recommendation.
