Reflection
What this project taught me
Working through this problem made one thing clear: complexity in a system does not require complexity in the solution, it requires accuracy. The entire research process was in service of finding two points where a small, well-placed intervention could travel further than anything larger.
The curriculum module works because it shapes the generation that hasn't formed its habits yet. The warranty pledge works because it converts a passive moment, product registration, into an active one. Neither required anything new to be built. Both were hidden inside things that already existed: a card in a box, a chapter in a textbook.
The design problem was never "what do we build?" It was "what do we redesign, and what do we ask of it?" That shift, from building to redesigning, from solving to repositioning, is what systems thinking actually produces when it works.
