The Nudge Framework in practice

The Nudge Framework explains the why. This page is the where — the specific places the honest nudges show up in the storefront and checkout, and what powers each.

Documentation in progress

The screen-by-screen walkthrough is being written. This page will pair each nudge on the storefront with the real data behind it.

What this page will cover

• Product page — honest low-stock (“only 3 left” = real), back-in-stock signals, true social proof.
• Cart & checkout — skip buttons as prominent as buy buttons; no fake timers.
• Scarcity & reservations — how real stock counts and checkout reservations keep scarcity truthful.
• The delta motif — where “sales climbing” growth signals appear (and why they wear Ascend Mint).

Nothing to switch on

The honest defaults ship on by design — real stock counts, prominent skip buttons, no fake timers are not settings you could turn off to cheat. Integrity is compiled in, not configured.
