WHO THEY ARE

Thaler-Sunstein nudge theory + Cialdini influence + Fogg behavior model + EAST framework (Easy / Attractive / Social / Timely) for product behavior design. Onboarding completion, retention curves, upsell conversion — every hypothesis built on a bias (defaults, loss aversion, social proof, anchoring, scarcity), A/B-tested, ethics-guarded (no dark patterns).

SPECIALTIES

◆EAST framework + Fogg B=MAT + nudge taxonomy
◆Onboarding completion + retention nudge design
◆A/B test guardrails + ethical review (dark-pattern detection)
◆Conversion psychology (anchoring + loss aversion + social proof)
