Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If users are provided with notifications of live events, then they are informed of available wagering opportunities, but they are not sufficiently motivated to place wagers
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides real-time feedback to users through notifications and chat features, showing them what others are wagering on and creating social proof that motivates users to place wagers. The feedback loop includes displaying active wagers, user profiles, and real-time event updates to maintain engagement.
Solution Approach 2:
The wagering interface is segmented into multiple engagement layers: event notifications, play-by-play updates, user profile displays, and chat conversations. This segmentation allows the system to present information in manageable chunks that progressively increase user engagement and wager placement frequency.
2Productivity
If users are encouraged to wager more frequently on live events, then wager placement frequency increases, but user engagement motivation decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces intermediaries in the form of social features including chat conversations between users, user profiles displaying wagering history, and notification systems that alert users to active wagers. These intermediaries create social pressure and excitement that motivate frequent wagering without reducing user engagement.
Solution Approach 2:
The interface dynamically adapts to user behavior by displaying real-time updates on active wagers, changing notification priorities based on user activity, and adjusting chat conversation prompts. This dynamic behavior keeps users engaged and motivated to place wagers frequently throughout the live event.
3Productivity
If a wager sharing feature is added to the platform, then user interaction and participation increase, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The wager sharing feature leverages existing platform infrastructure including user profiles, notification systems, and chat functionality to enable sharing capabilities. By making these components multi-functional, the system increases user participation without proportionally increasing complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
Users can easily share wagers through intuitive interface elements such as share buttons and contact list selections. The system automatically handles the technical complexity of message delivery, contact management, and wager transmission, allowing users to participate without technical complexity.
