Public core framework
- Start with the exact blocker: weak add_to_cart, low view_cart, flat begin_checkout, repeated support question, clustered refund reason, or price-block hesitation.
- Classify the symptom as fit, proof, or risk reversal. Do not change hero, price, reviews, FAQ, and full page structure in the same round.
- Use review search, support tickets, FAQ opens, recording pauses, refund reasons, video engagement, and support wording to find one evidence source that explains the doubt.
