Product reveal
MMotivationMotivation: builds desire, proof, identificationAfter the argument has been made, introduce the product as its logical conclusion.
- +Arrives late deliberately: after problem, worldview or mechanism have landed
- +Framed as embodiment: 'so we built X' connects product to the preceding argument
- +First glimpse of real product, sized to intrigue rather than exhaustively tour
The reveal arrives too early because someone feared visitors would leave before seeing the product. It short-circuits the manifesto into an ad, and the unaware reader, who wasn't shopping, bounces.
