- Action: simplest behavior expecting reward.
- Variable reward: uncertain benefit users want.
- Investment: user effort that improves future value.
Reward types

- Define desired habit.
- Map external and internal triggers.
- Count steps to action.
- Identify reward type and variability.
- Identify user investment.
