The best business ideas come from noticing what's working and doing it better, faster, or for a different audience.
Productivity Acceleration Adoption Pattern
Once users experience significant productivity gains from new tools, reverting to previous methods becomes psychologically impossible
Decision Rule
If a tool provides 5x+ speed improvement on frequent tasks, adoption becomes irreversible despite learning curves
How It Works
Brain adapts to new efficiency baseline, making old methods feel painfully slow; loss aversion prevents reverting
Failure Modes
Overestimating productivity gains from complex tools
Ignoring hidden costs of tool switching
Becoming dependent on single tools/vendors
Losing skills in manual methods
Example Decision
“After experiencing 220 WPM voice input vs 45 WPM typing, users find keyboards 'too slow' and permanently switch input methods”
