Activation Funnel
Map the minimal series of moments that prove recurring value. Remove every step that does not reduce risk or increase clarity.
Segmentation
Collect lightweight intent signals (role, goal) to branch paths and tailor examples.
Progressive Disclosure
Show only the minimum surface required to complete the next milestone.
Instrumentation
Track drop-off per step and time-to-first-key-action. Use cohort analysis to measure iteration impact.
Optimization Loop
Ship weekly hypotheses: reorder steps, compress copy, default smart values, add inline validation.
