Mechanisms¶
- Limited Market Pilot
- Extra attention, hand-picked staff, and the simple fact of being watched can lift performance that won't survive at scale — the Hawthorne effect in miniature.
This sourceFinds that intensive research attention and awareness of being observed can alter behavior.

- Pilot Localization Trial
- The Hawthorne effect — the enthusiasm of volunteers and the extra attention of a watched trial — makes the pilot setting unrepresentative, so friction observed under the pilot's spotlight understates what a cold rollout will meet.
This sourceDefines the Hawthorne effect as behavior change resulting from awareness of being observed or studied.
