Flagship course

Friction Signal Lab

Eighteen days of guided practice reading hesitation, rage clusters, and reverse paths — then converting them into tickets engineers respect.

Learning outcomes

  • Build a hesitation score that blends dwell, aborted fields, and back-navigation.
  • Produce teardown briefs that name selectors, user intent, and estimated conversion cost.
  • Facilitate a weekly friction standup that fits squads already mid-sprint.
  • Recognize Southeast Asian mobile payment prompts that inflate false “bounce” signals.

Modules

Module 1 — Signal inventory

Catalog event types, label noisy tools, and isolate friction candidates without drowning in dashboards.

Module 2 — Hesitation scoring

Weight micro-behaviors into a repeatable score. Includes worksheets used on Thai marketplace flows.

Module 3 — Reverse-navigation drill

Trace “oops, go back” paths through checkout and onboarding; practice writing the engineering ticket that follows.

Module 4 — Repair orchestra

Prioritize across design debt, copy debt, and performance debt with a facilitation script for mixed teams.

Module 5 — Live teardown studio

Bring a real funnel (or a Releaseyardgrid sample) for peer critique and coach feedback.

Informational pricing

Individual enrollment is listed at ฿18,900. Squad seats (up to six) are listed at ฿79,500. These figures are informational only — Releaseyardgrid does not process payments on this site. Contact us to discuss invoices and dates, or compare tiers on Pricing.

Learner notes

Module 3’s reverse-navigation drill exposed a QR confirmation screen we had defended for months. The lab does not replace dedicated research ops time — we still had to schedule that ourselves.

FAQ

Do I need an existing analytics stack?

You need access to some form of session evidence — replays, heatmaps, or event exports. We provide sample datasets if your stack is still thin.

Is this a tool-vendor training?

No. Methods transfer across popular replay tools. We do not lock exercises to a single vendor.

What is a real limitation of the program?

The lab will not magically create research capacity. If your org refuses to schedule two hours a week for friction review, skills fade after the cohort ends. We say this plainly in Module 4.

Are refunds available?
