Google Analytics implementations often fail silently in local environments, wasting developers' time. A Chrome extension could intercept GA events and highlight errors directly in the browser console. Marketing teams would pay to ensure their analytics work correctly, reducing campaign misreporting. Start by supporting basic GA4 event tracking and expanding to ecommerce and custom events later. Risk: Google might deprecate the debugging API.
