Find manipulative interface patterns and propose honest alternatives.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
Audit an interface for manipulative patterns and propose honest alternatives. Product and flow: [PRODUCT_AND_FLOW]. Screens, copy, and behavior described step by step: [FLOW_DESCRIPTION]. Business goal: [BUSINESS_GOAL]. Score each pattern from 0 (absent) to 3 (severe) with evidence and an alternative: 1. Confirmshaming (guilt-based decline text). 2. Hidden costs or drip pricing revealed late. 3. Forced continuity: trials that convert without clear notice, hard-to-cancel subscriptions. 4. Roach motel: easy to join, hard to leave. 5. Preselected options that favor the business. 6. Misdirection: visual emphasis that hides the privacy-friendly choice. 7. False urgency or scarcity (fake timers, "only 2 left" without basis). 8. Trick questions and double negatives. 9. Nagging and repeated prompts after a refusal. 10. Disguised ads or sponsored content. 11. Friction asymmetry in consent (accept in one click, reject in many). 12. Social proof that is fabricated or unverifiable. Return a scorecard, the most serious issues, honest redesigns with copy, estimates of the likely effect (as hypotheses), and the reasons trust matters for retention. Note that some patterns may breach consumer or privacy rules in [JURISDICTION]; have a qualified adviser verify.
