Sample Review

Sample: how Margarethe would review “Onboarding screen of a wealth management app”

This is how Margarethe typically judges — in Radical Personas, Margarethe reviews your real content.

Sample shown in English — review output is currently delivered primarily in German.

Positive · Discretion

Little distraction on the screen, no upsell banners, focus on the core task. That feels mature enough for business clients.

Criticism · Lack of cost transparency

Nowhere in the onboarding do I see the management fees. If I'm doing the math only at step 5, I distrust the entire flow.

What makes you distrust a digital provider immediately?

Margarethe

Opacity. If I only find the fees after several steps, I wonder what else is being hidden. And a typo on the homepage — then there is nothing more to discuss.

In the chat, you ask Margarethe your own questions — about your audience, your offer, your copy.
