Better Decisions, Faster: Predicting Human & Agent Behaviors Before Release

Better Decisions, Faster: Predicting Human & Agent Behaviors Before Release

Wed, May 20, 1:00 AM
From ProductTank SF
4.7

**Speed is up. Confidence in product decisions isn't.** Most teams commit time and resources before they know what will actually work, running the same loop of **ship, wait, learn, repeat**. That loop is breaking as build cycles collapse and live experimentation gets harder to run reliably. Why? A/B testing requires live traffic. User research takes weeks. Analytics tells you what happened, not why. By the time you know, you've already shipped the next thing. The **traditional model assumes** you have **time to be wrong**. Modern product cycles don't. This session reframes the core problem: a product decision is a commitment of time and resources made under uncertainty. The question is not how to move faster. It is how to **be right more often** before you commit. **Tom Charman** will show what changes when you move behavioral insight before release. Instead of waiting for post-launch signal, you can simulate how real users move through your product, step by step, and see exactly where they hesitate, misinterpret, or drop off. We'll walk through a concrete onboarding scenario and compare the traditional ship-and-measure approach against **pre-launch behavioral simulation** side by side. You'll leave with a lightweight **pre-launch simulation framework** you can use immediately: define a user, define a task, walk through their behavior step by step. It won't replace your research or analytics stack, but it will give you directional signal before you ship, when changing course is still cheap. The future of product development is not just building faster. It's being right more often. **Key Takeaways:** * **Why ship → learn is breaking** in modern product development * **How to identify friction and drop-off points** before a single user sees the product * **A new mental model for experimentation** that doesn't rely on live traffic **Special Thanks to our Generous Sponsor** **Blok**: Predict how users and agents behave inside your product before you ship. Replace guesswork with behavioral simulation. *Attendance will be first-come, first-served. We will close doors once we reach capacity; arrive early to secure a spot.*

Stop Being the Bottleneck: Live Leadership Session with Dr. Al Philip-Neri

Stop Being the Bottleneck: Live Leadership Session with Dr. Al Philip-Neri

Thu, May 28, 12:00 AM
From Smart Money San Francisco
4.5

Most agents think scaling a business will eventually create freedom. Instead, many end up with more people, more pressure, and even less time. On Wednesday, May 27 at 8:00 PM EST, join us live for a conversation with Dr. Al Philip-Neri, Performance Psychologist, Realtor, and real estate operator with investments across 21 U.S. markets. This session is focused on the execution side of business growth: • Leadership • Hiring • Systems • Accountability • Operational structure Not motivational fluff. Not generic mindset talk. This is a practical conversation about what it actually takes to stop being the bottleneck in your own business and build something that can operate without you carrying every moving part yourself. In this live session, we'll discuss: ✔ Why growth does not automatically create freedom ✔ The hidden reason your business still depends on you ✔ How the wrong hires quietly slow momentum and execution ✔ What changes when the right people are in the right roles ✔ How to transition from operator to true business owner This session is ideal for: • Brokerage owners • Team leaders • Agents building toward a team • Growth-minded entrepreneurs This is a live Zoom event only. No replay will be available. Please register through Zoom after RSVP'ing on Meetup so you receive the login link.
