Your product still must address the itch.
Build variable rewards that satiate the users itch, but leave them wanting more.

The HOOK Canvas
1. What internal trigger is the product addressing? 2. What external trigger
gets the user to the product?
4. Is the reward fulfilling, yet leaves the user wanting more?
3. What is the simplest behavior in anticipation
of reward?
5. What “bit of work” is done to increase the likelihood of
returning?

changing user behavior?
