Tactics / cta
Use a low-commitment CTA that matches the visitor's stage of readiness
TestedTested. Outside evidence supports it: a published experiment, or customer sites where verify_change found the change live long enough ago to count as kept.

Why it works
Visitors move through decisions gradually and are more likely to continue when the next step feels safe, appropriate, and proportionate to what they already know. Asking for a bigger commitment than the visitor feels ready to make causes them to abandon the funnel. Aligning each CTA with a visitor's state of readiness consistently increases both movement through the funnel and final conversion.

Implement it with your agent
The implementation spec (where it goes, structure, copy patterns and acceptance criteria) comes from get_tactic over MCP, so your coding agent can build and verify it in your codebase.
