My PX Adoption Diagnostic™: Finding the gaps between product value and user adoption
A product can have great features and still struggle with activation, engagement, and retention.
Why?
Because building value and helping users realize value are two different challenges.
That’s why I developed my PX Adoption Diagnostic™, based on my PX Adoption Engine™ framework.
I look beyond individual screens and ask:
→ Can users quickly understand the product’s value?
→ Where do they lose momentum during onboarding?
→ What prevents them from reaching their “aha” moment?
→ Which features are difficult to discover, understand, or trust?
→ Where does friction appear across key user journeys?
→ What could be contributing to drop-off and weak retention?
→ For AI products: do users understand and trust what the AI is doing?
My diagnostic looks across 4 connected areas:
1. Experience
Where usability, clarity, and journey friction affect the product experience.
2. Onboarding
How effectively the product moves users from first interaction toward meaningful activation.
3. Learning
Whether users have the guidance and context they need to understand the product and its capabilities.
4. Adoption
What helps—or prevents—users from repeatedly using valuable features and building lasting product habits.
The outcome isn't just a list of UX problems.
It is a structured view of adoption barriers + prioritized opportunities + practical recommendations that product teams can use to improve activation, feature adoption, engagement, and retention.
I see this as the space between:
UX → Learning → Adoption → Growth
Especially for SaaS, AI, EdTech, HealthTech, FinTech, and enterprise digital products.
If you're wondering “Why aren't users getting the value we're building?”, that is exactly the question I designed the PX Adoption Diagnostic™ to investigate.

When a competitor changes its website, what actually deserves action?
I built the full Eris Agent application and website around a practical workflow:
• Compare your website with confirmed competitors.
• Review page and offer changes with source links and collection dates.
• Save findings as reports and follow-up actions.
• Keep incomplete checks clearly marked, so missing evidence does not look like a confident conclusion.
The product lesson: a monitoring dashboard becomes more useful when someone can trace a finding back to its source and decide what to do next.
Here is the application case study: https://contra.com/p/LQOEPvbB-eris-agent-competitor-intelligence-app-and-website
I build web apps, MVPs and scoped AI/agentic workflows for founders and agencies.
Which competitor change would you want flagged first: pricing, offers or positioning?
does it catch pricing changes? that's the signal i'd care about most
Interactive AI Analytics Dashboard | SaaS Product Design
A modern, animated AI-powered eCommerce analytics dashboard designed to help businesses track sales performance, monitor revenue, understand customer behavior, and make data-driven decisions.
The design combines a clean SaaS interface, intuitive data visualization, interactive dashboard elements, and smooth animations to create a more engaging user experience. Every section is designed to make complex analytics easier to understand while maintaining a professional, scalable, and user-friendly layout.
Super clean work!
This portfolio project focuses on designing attractive and user-friendly Shopify product pages that present products clearly and help customers make informed purchasing decisions. The design approach emphasizes product imagery, organized descriptions, clear pricing, visible calls to action, and easy-to-understand product options. I aim to create a consistent shopping experience that communicates product value and makes important information easy to find. My goal is to help online stores improve product presentation, maintain brand consistency, and provide a smooth browsing experience across different devices.
Keeping ‘New Collection’ and the navigation as live text would make the layout easier to adapt to mobile than a flattened banner. Are you handing this over as a Shopify theme, or a visual concept?
