SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Retention challenges plague SaaS and product teams when core user actions fail to stick; this Skill provides a diagnostic framework (B=MAP) to identify why users churn and prescribes practical design patterns to harden motivation, ability, and prompts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • B=MAP diagnostic framework to map Motivation, Ability, and Prompts for activation, engagement, and retention behaviors.
  • Ability Chain audit (Time, Money, Physical Effort, Mental Effort, Social Deviance, Non-Routine) to locate bottlenecks and guide simplification.
  • Tiny Habits recipe (Anchor Moment, Tiny Behavior, Celebration) for creating durable micro-actions that survive motivation troughs.
  • Anchor Moments and event-based prompts to orchestrate timely prompts tied to real routines.
  • Quick-start templates and retention diagnostics for onboarding, day-7/30 retention, and feature adoption.

Quick Start

Propose a starter Tiny Habits plan to improve retention by anchoring a tiny post-onboarding behavior to a daily routine and celebrating small wins.

FAQPage Schema
How do I diagnose user churn and improve product retention?▼

Diagnose user churn using the B=MAP framework to map Motivation, Ability, and Prompts, then locate bottlenecks in the Ability Chain to design targeted retention interventions.

What is the B=MAP behavior design framework for engagement?▼

The B=MAP framework explains user behavior through Motivation, Ability, and Prompt, helping product teams identify why core actions fail to stick and design better engagement patterns.

How do I use Tiny Habits recipes to increase feature adoption?▼

Apply Tiny Habits recipes by anchoring a tiny post-onboarding behavior to a daily routine and celebrating small wins, ensuring durable micro-actions survive motivation troughs during feature adoption.

Can I audit the Ability Chain to simplify user onboarding?▼

Yes, you can audit the Ability Chain factors—Time, Money, Physical Effort, Mental Effort, Social Deviance, and Non-Routine—to locate onboarding bottlenecks and guide simplification.

What's the best way to design event-based prompts for day-30 retention?▼

Orchestrate event-based prompts by tying them to Anchor Moments and real user routines, applying ready-to-use diagnostics and templates specifically designed for day-7 and day-30 retention.

When should I not use anchor moments for behavior change?▼

Avoid using anchor moments when a behavior lacks a stable daily routine to attach to, as Tiny Habits recipes require reliable triggers to prompt the desired micro-actions consistently.
