Clear problem statement + assumptions to validate

Summary
An anonymous submission platform where employees share internal process pain points and manual work that should be automated, presented in an entertaining, shareable format. The goal is to surface recurring problems that founders or builders can turn into products/services.
Problem Statement
Employees experience frustrating, time-consuming internal processes and manual work but lack a safe, effective channel to voice issues or see them addressed, while potential builders struggle to find validated, real-world automation problems worth solving.
Key Assumptions
  • Employees are willing to submit detailed process problems anonymously and repeatedly over time
  • Anonymity can be preserved while still keeping submissions credible and useful (enough context without doxxing the company or person)
  • There is sufficient volume of high-quality, non-trivial problems to create a compelling feed and reliable trend signals
  • Companies will tolerate (or not successfully suppress) employees posting internal operational issues on an external platform
  • Builders/founders will use the platform as a meaningful source of leads and validation for starting businesses
  • Legal, compliance, and moderation risks (defamation, confidentiality breaches, trade secrets) can be managed without destroying the product experience
Use Cases
  • A finance analyst posts about spending hours weekly reconciling invoices across multiple systems and spreadsheets; multiple similar posts reveal a common integration/automation opportunity
  • A customer support rep shares that ticket tagging and routing is manual and inconsistent; founders see repeated complaints across industries and build a workflow automation tool
  • An operations manager submits a story about onboarding requiring copying data between HRIS, IT, and payroll tools; the platform aggregates these into a clear onboarding automation theme
  • A sales ops specialist complains about manual CRM cleanup and reporting; a consultant or micro-SaaS builder reaches out (via platform mechanisms) to interview submitters and validate demand
  • A product manager browses trending “manual labor” posts to prioritize internal tooling investments or benchmark their company’s pain against others (without exposing their own company)
