Goal: Deliver value before explanation.

Show - don’t tell. Let users achieve something meaningful within seconds.

Examples:

✔ Auto-generated sample output

✔ Pre-loaded prompt templates

✔ Default settings to optimized outcomes

Avoid:

❌ Blank states

❌ Long setup forms before success

Key Metric: First Value Achieved (FVA) Time

Proof it works: For a B2B AI writing product, reducing the time to first output from 65s → 18s resulted in:

• +72% faster activation
• +19% D7 retention
