What it changes
A small pause with a useful ending.
- 01Separates the need from the offer. A discount cannot make an unnecessary purchase valuable.
- 02Brings the hidden costs forward. The first-year amount matters more than the clean product-page price.
- 03Uses a life that actually exists. Likely use beats optimistic cost-per-use arithmetic.
