You: "What friction points are on my site?"
Quincy: "I've identified these friction points from heatmap and behavior data: High friction (fix first): 1. Pricing page - 43% of users scroll up/down repeatedly - Users are confused by tier differences - Recommendation: Add comparison table or highlight differences 2. Checkout shipping form - Mobile rage clicks detected - Address autocomplete not working on iOS - 34% of mobile users abandon at this step 3. Product filters - Click but no response - Filters take 3+ seconds to update - Users think they're broken Medium friction: 4. Demo request form - 67% start but don't finish - Form is too long (8 fields) - Recommendation: Reduce to 4 fields, ask rest in follow-up Expected impact: Fixing top 3 issues could improve conversions by 15-20%."
