DEC-0077 - Entitlement-aware recommendation composition and lock-teaser policy
Phần tiêu đề “DEC-0077 - Entitlement-aware recommendation composition and lock-teaser policy”Context
Phần tiêu đề “Context”Recommendation quality improved with freshness/diversification, but users can still receive too many locked items, creating friction right after return and reducing immediate learning momentum.
Decision
Phần tiêu đề “Decision”Recommendation set composition now follows entitlement-first actionability:
- Available-now priority:
- each set should prioritize items that user can start immediately under current entitlement.
- Lock teaser cap:
- at most
1locked item per set when available inventory is sufficient. - locked teaser is placed at end of set.
- teaser must show:
- lock reason,
- minimum eligible plan (
ProorPro Max).
- at most
- Low inventory fallback:
- first relax by nearest-ladder within same program/assessment-form/skill scope,
- only when still insufficient, allow additional locked items with short “limited available items” notice.
- Seed compatibility:
- if set uses reactivation seed handoff, seeded quick-win must be available-now.
- Non-coercive boundary:
- recommendation browsing never hard-gates user to upgrade,
- upgrade remains optional via locked teaser interaction.
Decision Value
Phần tiêu đề “Decision Value”- Keeps user in learning flow with minimal friction.
- Preserves upgrade discovery without making recommendation feel like paywall feed.
- Works with deterministic rules and scales easily.
Rationale
Phần tiêu đề “Rationale”Users return to learn first. Recommendation must maximize immediate start success before monetization prompts.
Implications
Phần tiêu đề “Implications”- Product/UX impact:
- higher first-attempt start likelihood from recommendation surfaces.
- Data/logic impact:
- recommendation payload needs
available_nowandminimum_eligible_planfields.
- recommendation payload needs
- Operational impact:
- no extra operations overhead; rule-based composer only.
Alternatives considered
Phần tiêu đề “Alternatives considered”- Option A: allow mixed locked/open items with no cap.
- Option B: hide all locked items completely (no teaser).
Open follow-ups
Phần tiêu đề “Open follow-ups”- No blocker for baseline lock.
