Background and pain

The pain

Platform gaps are product openings: logging, diagnostics, quota management, cost explainability.

A buildable angle

The opening

Build the surrounding layer: observability, error diagnostics and cost attribution for LLM apps.

How to validate it

  1. Read the whole thread and note the recurring scenarios — repetition is the density of the need.
  2. Search existing tools around "platform gaps / signals" and check which single step they actually cover.
  3. Put up a one-line landing page, share it back to OpenAI Developer Community, and see whether anyone asks about pricing.
