Convert this tech debt item into a properly scoped story.

Examples:
Input: "Our tests are too slow"
Output:
Title: Reduce unit test suite runtime by 50%
Problem: Current 15-min test suite blocks CI feedback loop
Success Criteria: Suite completes in < 7 minutes
Approach: Parallelize tests, mock external calls, remove redundant tests
Estimate: 5 points

Input: "The user service is a mess"
Output:
Title: Extract authentication logic from UserService
Problem: 2000-line class violates SRP, hard to test/modify
Success Criteria: Auth logic in separate module with 90% coverage
Approach: Identify auth boundaries, create AuthService, migrate incrementally
Estimate: 8 points
