03 / Problem
The constraint behind the outcome.
A new family proposition needed to feel simple enough to buy while remaining explicit about who the product was for and how activation would work.
04 / Mandate
What I was accountable for.
Translate a new family-oriented wireless proposition into a clear purchase and activation journey while detecting accidental selection early.
05 / Decisions
The product choices that shaped the system.
- 01
Design the journey around the parent’s decision, not a generic line add.
- 02
Track accidental selection as a launch-quality signal.
- 03
Coordinate education, checkout, activation, and Care as one launch system.
06 / What shipped
The product and operating system delivered.
- Parent-centered product education and choice architecture.
- A dedicated purchase path with clear plan differentiation.
- Activation handoffs designed for the parent-and-child context.
- Post-launch monitoring for accidental selection and support signals.
07 / Tradeoffs
The boundaries that made it operable.
- Additional clarity can add friction to a fast checkout.
- A specialized path improves comprehension but increases operational branching.
08 / Learning
The principle I carried forward.
A healthy launch metric combines adoption with a measure of customer intent; volume alone cannot show whether the proposition was understood.
09 / Evidence
What the evidence can—and cannot—support.
Owner-reported launch outcomes. The public case omits internal segmentation and operational detail.
Launch-period owner-reported data: 14,000 activations in 90 days and 22 accidental selections, equal to 0.16% of activations.
