What causes most user questions in SaaS products?

Onboarding gaps, unclear docs, and overcomplicated features—fix by anticipating pain points with real-use flows.

How to measure product clarity ?

Track questions per user or time-to-value; aim for under 0.5 tickets per active user weekly.

Does adding features always increase confusion?

Yes, if unaccompanied by clarity layers—prune first, build second.
