Design customer moments people actually remember

Most companies focus on getting customers — but very few intentionally design the experience customers have along the way.

This module helps you map the customer journey and identify small, practical moments that reduce friction, build trust, and make people genuinely remember working with you.

It can be used on its own, or as part of the Growth Decisions Canvas — a system that helps growth companies make clearer, more profitable decisions.

Example output

• After a founder finishes their first module, we send a personalized Loom video reviewing their answers and pointing out one blind spot they may be missing.
• When a company completes their full strategy canvas, we mail them a printed version for their office so the strategy becomes visible to the entire team.
