### 2. Problem Section
**Purpose:** Set up why this work mattered
**Include:**
- Business context
- User pain points
- Key metrics or goals
- Constraints
**Example:**
```
## The Problem
E-Commerce Inc. was experiencing 68% cart abandonment—significantly higher than the industry average of 55%. Exit surveys and user research revealed several issues:
- **Too many steps:** Our checkout had 7 screens
- **Forced account creation:** Users had to register before purchasing
- **Hidden costs:** Shipping wasn't shown until step 5
- **Mobile friction:** Forms weren't optimized for mobile
**Goal:** Reduce cart abandonment to below 50% within 3 months.
**Constraints:**
- No changes to existing payment integrations
- Had to maintain PCI compliance
- 6-week timeline before holiday season
```
### 3. Process Section
**Purpose:** Show your thinking and methodology
**Include:**
- Research conducted
- Stakeholders involved
- Hypotheses formed
- Options considered
- Decisions made (and why)
**Example:**
```
## Process
### Research
I started by understanding the problem deeply:
- Analyzed Mixpanel funnel data for drop-off points
- Conducted 10 user interviews with recent abandoners
- Reviewed heatmaps and session recordings
- Benchmarked against 5 competitor checkout flows
**Key Insight:** 73% of drop-offs occurred at the account creation screen. Users wanted to purchase, not commit to a relationship.
### Ideation
I explored several approaches:
1. Guest checkout only (simplest)
2. Social login options (lower friction)
3. Progressive profiling (collect info over time)
4. One-page checkout (Amazon-style)
After weighing feasibility, timeline, and impact, we chose a hybrid approach...
### Decisions Made
- **Guest checkout first:** Made registration optional and post-purchase
- **Transparent pricing:** Showed shipping on the first screen
- **Mobile-first design:** Designed for mobile, then adapted for desktop
- **Progress indicator:** Added clear "Step 1 of 3" indicator
