Anti-pattern — email-gate BEFORE delivering the result

Anti-pattern: Forcing email signup before showing the tier / diagnosis.

Why it fails: Optimizes for capture, not communication. Inverts the honest order (Rule — Show the result BEFORE any email gate). Reads as a lead-gen tool, not a diagnostic.

Why this matters for Candid: This is the single biggest separator between honest diagnostic and lead-gen scorecard. The widget MUST deliver value first.
