Find the delight trigger
WISPR FLOW / PRODUCT / BREAKOUT
Onboard until delight becomes reproducible
Kothari personally onboarded the first 500 users over Google Meet. He watched where the cursor went, where the eyes went, and whether each step produced confusion or the visible spark of delight.
Why it compounds.
The emotional trigger behind a recommendation rarely appears in funnel analytics. Repeated observation turns that trigger into a product requirement, while every avoidable hesitation becomes a removal queue. The result is a self-serve journey designed around the moment people naturally describe to someone else.
Watch 25 matched users install and reach first value without rescuing them. Tag every hesitation, exact phrase, and visible reaction. Protect the repeated delight moment before optimizing the rest of the funnel.
Concierge onboarding can hide a broken product when the observer teaches, nudges, or completes the work. Watch first. Intervene only after the failure is recorded.
SAVE TO ELENA
Turn the observation into an experiment.
Elena adapts the play to your company, scopes the first sprint, and watches the signal that tells you whether to keep going.
