Jobs where this local tool earns its keep. Each names the role, the task before the deadline, the steps, and what done looks like.
Who: An observability engineer owning Python/TS scripts that call /events/ with dataset=transactions.
Task: Finish migration before Dec 3 so nightly reports do not 400.
Steps: Inventory endpoints; answer home axes; apply field/function map; add is_transaction:true; smoke; attach Markdown.
Result: No script relies on retired datasets after the cutoff.
Who: An SRE whose dashboards-as-code still use discover for both errors and transactions.
Task: Split into errors+spans requests and reconcile panels.
Steps: Mark mix=both; dual requests; update field names; export map into the change request.
Result: Dashboards render without dataset errors after Dec 3.
Who: An on-call engineer after the cutoff email window.
Task: Decide whether failure is missing dataset, field rename, or mixed discover.
Steps: Walk the home map with discover/default; check is_transaction and function list; open a vendor ticket with the export.
Result: Incident notes separate dataset work from unrelated SDK issues.
