Why “user readiness” beats aggressive onboardingMost onboarding fails not because users refuse to learn — but because the product pushes them before they feel ready. Readiness creates momentum.
Early pressure creates resistance: Users pull back when the flow feels demanding. Small steps build comfort: Confidence grows through low-risk actions. Timing changes behavior: The same prompt works better after intent appears. Readiness reduces drop-off: Users continue when the next step feels natural.Activation improves when the product matches user readiness — not internal urgency.
