Recommendation
Observe before adding
| Approach | Benefit | Tradeoff |
|---|---|---|
| Keep as is | No additional product work | No deliberate learning |
| Observe handoffs | Learn why a PDF is needed | Feedback may be slow or sparse |
| Add controls | Could support advanced exports | Complexity before a known need |
Recommended: learn when people need a PDF instead of a browser link.
Founder decision requested
Learn, then decide
Approve learning from real PDF handoffs while keeping the current simple export flow.
Listen at real handoffs
Ask why they needed a PDF and whether the file was usable. Record repeated problems before choosing another export feature.
Proposal only. No new feature commitment or production instrumentation.
