The quick on-bike adjustment is a small sub-set of tools. It's a loose headset or bar / lever that's rotated in a crash. Maybe a post adjustment. In the spirit of keep it simple, I think the best would be clip behind bottle cage (ie like a pump mount) that holds Dynaplug racer on one side, and L-bend hex on the other. This hex would have L-bends at each end, one for 4mm one for 5mm. The holder and hex tool are <$20CAD. How hard is that to come to market (ignoring supply change and global pandemic)? Sorry, but I just feel industry is over-complicating this on-bike tool thing a touch.
Every other tweak, the rider can take off pack (or seat bag) and pull out their actual multi-tool.
