Blurred answer

Effort: Low

What to notice

Only the headline of the result is readable and the rest is blurred, so people know an answer is waiting.

How to build it

  1. Right after input, show only the headline of the result.
  2. Blur the details and offer a single action to reveal them.
  3. Reveal the full result immediately when asked.

Measure

Main metric
Result reveal rate
Guardrail
Bounce rate after the reveal

When it backfires

Requiring an email to see the answer holds it hostage. Always deliver the answer and keep sign-up optional.
