This is the kind of thing someone might be offhandedly curious about, but no leadership is going to sign off on paying for a solution. At best some IC in the right position will add some instrumentation in the right place for a quick win. No one is going to architect their systems around something like this. The juice just isn’t worth the squeeze.
No shame in trying and failing at a cool idea, but I’m worried the author is taking the wrong lesson. It’s not about “bleeding edge” or being too early, it’s about target market and utility. No small company would ever need this, so you’re automatically moving into the enterprise space. However in the enterprise space you need to solve problems that decision-makers care about. That means going into sales mode day 1 and getting immediate feedback in order to land that first sale. You need a demo more than a product, and you need to listen more than you talk.
