You know people aren't doing what the system was designed for. This tool tells you why.
A diagnostic report that tells you exactly why a behavior isn't sticking and what to do about it. Built on Self-Determination Theory. Results in under 10 minutes.
Free to try. No credit card required to start.
Built for your discipline
Whatever you design, the BSA speaks your language.
📚
Instructional Design
Secure learning outcomes
"Great content. Nobody finishes the course."
Find out where your learning journey loses intrinsic motivation and how to fix transfer success through psychological triggers.
⬡
UX Design
Kill conversion barriers
"Beautiful interface. Users drop off at the same spot every time."
Go beyond usability. Analyze the decision architecture in your flows and identify the behavioral barriers your Figma file cannot show.
◈
Product Ownership
Drive real engagement
"We shipped the feature. Nobody uses it the way we planned."
Validate your roadmap decisions with behavioral data. Understand why users ignore features and what turns a nice-to-have into a habit.
◆
Loyalty Management
Deepen loyalty
"Our points program creates deal-hunters, not loyal customers."
Check your program for the PBL trap. Learn how to build real brand attachment through psychological ownership instead of transactional rewards.
What you get
A complete diagnostic report. Not a score. A system analysis.
Answer 20 questions about a specific behavior. The BSA maps the gap between how your system currently drives that behavior and what the behavior actually requires.

DIAGNOSIS
People comply when watched but lack personal connection to performance goals
When you present these findings internally, you will encounter resistance. The BSA prepares you for it.
Objection 1
"Our people need direct supervision or they won't maintain performance standards."
How to respond
The data shows supervision creates compliance, not commitment. When people understand how their performance connects to meaningful outcomes, they sustain the behavior even without oversight.

02
Answer 20 questions
The questions adapt to your context automatically. No behavioral science background required. You answer based on what you observe, not what you think should be true.

In Plain Terms
No jargon. No theory. Just what it means.
Generate the Enhanced PDF Report to see the plain language summary.
The report gives you a starting point. Not the full picture.
What To Do shows one direction. But motivation misfits rarely have a single right answer. Different contexts, different constraints, different people. The same gap plays out differently depending on what you are actually working with.
Turn on follow-up insights and receive a few thoughts that look at your gap from a different angle. Not a newsletter. Just the things a single report cannot cover.

Where to go from here
The report shows the gap and the direction. Closing it requires a designed sequence built for your specific context. That is the part EngagingLab can help with.
