Currently the shortest segment that can be made is 500m. This is fine, but for some short climbs, this is too short. Such climbs could be 300m but take more than 30s for the KOM time. Instead of having a blanket rule that any segment distance less than 500m "isn't long enough for accurate segment times", use the gradient to estimate what the KOM time will be so that the segment length can be reduced but still be accurate because GPS data will be more accurate on distance when riders are going slower.
For example:
gradient <= 0%, minimum 500m
0% < gradient < 3%, minimum 400m
3% < gradient < 6%, minimum 300m
6% < gradient < 10%, minimum 250m
10%+, minimum 200m
