Knowledge Gap
You need to be a BFM+ member to save things to your library
The difference between the information that the user knows, and what they need to know to efficiently use the product or service.
👀
Introduction
The knowledge gap is what onboarding and in-product education needs to fill.
🔥
Potential impacts
Churn
- Confused users often churn.
Attention & interest
Effort & motivation
- People can be motivated to fill in their knowledge gaps (see: 🧩 Curiosity Gap), but it may also backfire and just feel confusing. The balance is important.
Complexity & understanding
- Knowledge gaps, by their very nature, are a result of complexity (i.e., not understanding how X or Y works).
