Summary

This play identifies consistent, non-advanced users who haven’t fully adopted the product. By targeting this overlooked group, product teams can uncover day-to-day usability issues and accessibility blockers that hinder deeper engagement.

Why this works

  • Surfaces friction from actual users, not just disengaged ones

  • Highlights patterns from people who rely on the product, but not deeply

  • Feeds into design and onboarding improvements with grounded insight

Goal

For the reader:

Uncover adoption blockers from consistent but lower-engaged users.

For the company:

Improve accessibility and usability for the broader user base.


Accoil Signal

(1) Primary signal

  • Adoption Score = below adoption threshold (e.g. under 60%, customizable by team or segment)

  • Engagement Score = below peak engagement range

  • Frequency = consistent but moderate

(2) Additional insights (optional)

  • Plan tier = standard or basic

  • Low interaction with power features


Action steps

  • Segment by low adoption and moderate engagement

  • Apply filters to remove admins or config-based activity (subject to trait configuration)

  • Save as a live feedback group for ongoing research

2. Leverage for Feedback

  • Invite to usability interviews or quick surveys

  • Introduce simplified features or interface tweaks

  • Use reactions to guide onboarding or help content improvements

3. Maximize Connections & Tailor Your Approach

  • Use friendly, lightweight outreach

  • Highlight how their perspective is critical to improving everyday UX

  • Offer incentives like early access or small perks for participating

4. Track + Iterate

  • Monitor whether usability changes shift adoption or retention

  • Compare which friction points are repeatable across plans or roles

  • Feed insights into product roadmap for feature rework or redesign
