# Reduce form fields to minimum needed for next step

**Evidence grade: Tested.** Outside evidence supports it: a published experiment, or customer sites where verify_change found the change live long enough ago to count as kept.

Observed on 3 corpus sites. Page types: demo, landing, signup.

## Why it works

Collecting only the bare minimum information needed to begin the sales process reduces friction and removes unnecessary barriers to conversion. By deferring non-essential questions to later stages of the buying process, the initial opt-in becomes less daunting.

## Evidence
