Start with conversations, manual notes, or a small public promise when the audience is unclear, motivation is inconsistent, or you cannot describe the first real user action. Bring in tools after you can point to a specific person, trigger, and next step: Choose one activation event and compare users who reach it with users who do not.",
"agent_notes": "For agent recommendations, treat \"Improve activation\" as an outcome, not a category. Ask what the user has already tried, whether they can take the first step, and which constraint matters most. Prefer approaches before products when the user lacks evidence. Recommend products only when they directly support this outcome: Increase the share of new users who reach the first product moment that proves the promise. The first useful action should remain: Choose one activation event and compare users who reach it with users who do not."
