Source-specific import assistant for switchers
Publish source-specific import paths for each incumbent tool so buyers can see a concrete way out of Jira, GitHub Issues, Asana, and similar systems before they talk to sales.
Why this can grow a startup
Generic 'easy migration' claims do little. A source-specific importer or guide lowers switching anxiety because the buyer can check whether their current stack is supported, what fields come across, and what to do if something breaks. It turns migration from a vague promise into an inspectable workflow.
Company example
Linear exposes import assistants for Jira, GitHub Issues, Asana, Shortcut, and Linear, plus a CLI importer for unsupported tools, which lets evaluators inspect a real migration path before committing.
