- 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?
Run the smallest experiment
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 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

Why this brief exists
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.
