Pros
- +It provides insights into user behavior, helping to model demand, optimize features, or design systems where trade-offs and incremental benefits are critical, such as in SaaS products or data analytics tools
- +Related to: microeconomics, consumer-behavior
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
