User Impact and Product Sense

Intent

• Translate technical work into clear user outcomes (fun, trust, productivity, revenue).
• Ensure flows are accessible, consistent, and measurable across mobile, web, and decentralized surfaces.

Workflow

1. Clarify the user story
   • Write the scenario in plain language (persona, goal, success metric).
   • Note must-haves vs delights; align with PM/design if ambiguous.
2. Define acceptance signals
   • Specify behavioral analytics, A/B guardrails, or smart-contract events to prove impact.
   • Include accessibility requirements (screen readers, haptics, color contrast, controller support).
3. Prototype + validate early
   • Use lightweight demos, storybooks, simulators, or testnets to gather feedback quickly.
4. Instrument thoughtfully
   • Add analytics hooks or telemetry to measure adoption without leaking sensitive data.
5. Close the loop
   • Plan post-launch follow-up: metrics to review, user feedback channels, rollback criteria.

Verification

• Acceptance criteria mapped to concrete tests or demo steps.
• Accessibility checks (linting, WCAG tools, platform inspectors) run for affected surfaces.
• Analytics/telemetry schemas reviewed with stakeholders; events verified in staging/testnet before release.
