Prototype guided setup
Bound initial work with the two-day engineering estimate.
Proposed experiment
Learn where existing agent users creating their first deck need help—not a promise of higher conversion.
Successive steps in the same fictional cohort. Too small to represent all users; the reasons for stopping are unknown.
| Option | Learning question | Estimated effort |
|---|---|---|
| A · Guided setup Recommended | Can users complete guided setup unaided? | 2 engineering days |
| B · Three deck examples | What guidance can worked decks provide? | 5 engineering days |
| C · Observe five more sessions | Where do users need help today? | 1 PM day |
Fictional estimates, not commitments. Engineering and PM days are not interchangeable; effects are unknown.
Bound initial work with the two-day engineering estimate.
Record whether each user connects without help.
Proposed: at least six of ten connect unaided; otherwise revisit.
Not a controlled comparison with the original ten. This observes completion; it does not establish causal lift.
Decision requested · product lead
2 daysEngineering time for the prototype.
Then observe ten new sessions.
No delivery date or rollout commitment.
At least six of ten users connect unaided.
Confirm or change this criterion before starting. A positive result informs the next decision—not product-market fit.
