P0 Problem= Discoverability and usage of advanced features (Study Mode / Custom GPTs / Agents)
Goal: Increase activation & engagement by making advanced features discoverable, tryable, and re-enterable for learners and knowledge workers.
P0 Solution: Contextual Micro-Tours — small, intent-triggered demos (3-minute micro-lessons + 1–2 micro-quiz questions) surfaced via banner/spotlight/search/composer to drive first-time activation of Study Mode and other advanced features.
| Assumption at Risk | Failure Mode | Impact | Likelihood | Mitigation (fast, non-engineering where possible) | Detection Signal | Containment / Rollback |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Users will notice & click the micro-tour banner/spotlight | Low CTR (ignored as “promo”) | M | M | A/B test copy & placement; only show after intent signal (“study” keyword); limit frequency | shown → clicked CTR < 5% | Pause banner; use inline composer chip only |
| Micro-lessons are useful & accurate | Micro-lessons contain factual errors / hallucinations | H | M | Conservative generator settings; short outputs; attach source hints; manual QA sample (n=200) | hallucination > 0.5% (or a different decided number) or complaints spike or increased drop-offs/churn | Disable micro-lessons for high-risk topics; fallback to summary + sources |
| Generation cost is high per exposure | Pilot costs exceed budget | H | M | Cap token size; throttle per user (max 3/week); cache repeat outputs | Reduce token limit; pause micro-lessons; fallback to static summary | |
| Users find personalization intrusive | High dismiss rate or opt-outs | M | Low - medium | Use simple trigger logic (explicit intent); add “Not for me” dismiss option | Rise in banner dismiss rate | Turn off personalization for the specific cohort & revert to static screen |
| Micro-tour reduces core flow performance (UI clutter) | Drop in primary chat engagement | M | L | Frequency cap; limit to one surface; show to sampled users only | Drop in chat opens / session abandonment ↑ | Reduce exposure %; remove banner from certain pages |
