What's the point of the platform?

to provide a flat, level landing on the sloped slab. It will be
safer than having a "odd" riser. As the saying goes "the feet
remember" - a step which is off is a tripping hazard.

You could replace the slab, or put in a concrete landing so that
people will not be stepping down a different distance depending on
which side of the stairs they come down.

An tapered edge there instead of a square corner would also help as
would a hazard indicator like a colored section to highlight the
discontinuity.

Sounds as though the slab should have been poured initially with two
grades; if were new construction I'd at least consider to go back to the
builder for redress...

Trying to minimize the tread height difference from one side to another
is better than nothing, certainly.

One of my earlier suggestions was to pour a level landing and then
let the "pad" gradually slope away from the bottom step.
But later than this one...

The time stamp on my "let the floor itself slope away
from the stairs in gentle manner" shows 9:59AM.

Yeah, and this subthread began yestidday...

While that would extend the run in a certain manner, a poured slab could
be driven/parked on, which a wooden platform would prevent.
Not necessarily, no.

Not necessarily, true. As I've said multiple times, we don't know enough about
the layout of the carport to know if that would work.

If you can put a slab there to drive on, I garontee I can do it with wood.

You've only got 2" to make up -- a tubax and half-inch ply makes the
height and certainly can be driven on/over.
