Startup Problem Ledger

When to use

Use when the user notices an annoyance, repeated manual task, customer complaint, internal workflow issue, market inefficiency, product idea, or asks whether something could be a business.

Do not start by designing the product. First log the observation, sharpen the problem, and check whether it is startup-shaped.

Core rule

Keep the user anchored on the pain, the person feeling it, the moment it happens, the workaround, and the cost. Avoid turning every frustration into a SaaS idea by default.
