| Q22 | Readiness 1-10? | Slider | readiness | Final commitment signal |
Questions 1-5 — Build trust, establish identity. No mention of quitting.
Asking name before the qualifier makes it feel like a conversation, not a clinical screening. The qualifier ("do you smoke?") is less jarring when it comes from someone who already knows your name.
≤25: "You're young. The earlier you look at this, the easier it is."
26-35: "This is when most people start paying attention. Good timing."
36-50: "A lot of our most successful users are in this range."
51+: "It's never too late — your body starts recovering within hours of stopping."
Context: "User said what matters most is [answer]. Acknowledge warmly in 1 sentence. Don't connect to smoking yet."
Fallback: "That says a lot about who you are."
This answer is referenced in Phase 2 (Q9 connection) and Phase 4 (dot-connecting moment). It creates the cognitive dissonance that drives the entire funnel.
Questions 6-10 — Self-generated cognitive dissonance. User tells THEMSELVES the downsides.
Context: "User shared what they like: [all selections]. Acknowledge WITHOUT judging. Show respect. Say 'That makes sense' or 'A lot of people feel the same.'"
If "nothing" selected: Scripted: "Interesting — that's actually more telling than you might think."
Validated MI technique. Asking what they LIKE first (before negatives) builds trust. Shows Quincy respects them. Makes Q9 (dislikes) feel balanced, not preachy.
Context: "If 'automatic' — deepest sign habit runs on autopilot. If 'anxious' — hint that smoking relieves withdrawal not stress."
Creates self-awareness about the emotional state BEFORE the cigarette. Feeds smoker type classification. Anxious → Stress type. Automatic → Habitual type.
Context: "User values '[Q5]'. Smoking bugs them because of '[Q9]'. Point out the tension in 2 sentences. Don't lecture. Don't say 'you should quit.' Just name the contradiction gently."
"Never" / "Rarely": "That's okay. A lot of people start there. The fact that you're here says something though."
"All the time": "That tells me a lot. Let's figure out what's been holding you back."
Others: "Got it. Let's look at the patterns behind that."
Cold leads don't know they want to quit. This question gauges intent WITHOUT forcing a commitment. "How often do you think about it" is much softer than "do you want to."
Questions 11-14 — Make dependence and cost undeniably real. Their own numbers tell the story.
This is from the Fagerström Test of Nicotine Dependence. Smoking within 5 minutes of waking = high physical dependence. This is real clinical science, not invented.
Questions 15-17 — Denial + failure audit. NOW earned after trust is built. Lands as insight, not attack.
Mapped to established psychological concepts: Illusion of Control, Present Bias / Procrastination, Optimism Bias, Attribution Error, Minimization. Not invented.
"Physical": "That's what most people think. But research shows only 10% is physical. The other 90%? Patterns, beliefs, triggers — all in your head."
"Mental": "You're ahead of most people. About 90% of it IS psychological. That's the part most methods ignore."
"Both"/"Not sure": "The split is: only 10% physical, 90% psychological — the habits, beliefs, automatic patterns. That's what nobody usually addresses."
Then: "That's exactly what this approach is built around."
Primes the user to accept QuitSure's core philosophy BEFORE the results page. Without this, the results page introduces "psychological approach" cold.
Questions 18-19 — Real introspection. Smoker type tease.
Context: "Respond with genuine insight. Don't contradict. Gently hint this makes them a certain smoker type (without naming it yet)."
Context: "Acknowledge fear as valid. Hint the program specifically handles this."
Questions 20-22 — Open the door to change. From curiosity to readiness.
"Skeptical": "Fair. Most people feel that way at first. What if I showed you the data?"
"Not right now": "I respect that. But you've already invested time — let me at least show you your profile."
"Very open": "That's a strong signal. Let's see what your profile looks like."
"Curious": "Good — curiosity is all it takes to start."
Context: "Reflect their vision warmly. Make it feel real and close — weeks away, not years. End with hope."
Fallback: "'[their answer]' — hold onto that. It's closer than you think."
This answer is reflected back on the results page alongside their quit date: "You told me: '[vision]'. That's 6 days away." Most powerful conversion moment.
"Yes": "Noted. Let's see what your profile says."
"Know more": "Fair. That's exactly what the results will show you."
"Maybe later": "No pressure. But let me at least show you your profile — you've already done the hard part."
"Probably not": "I respect that. Let's still look at your profile — you might find it interesting regardless."
Concrete numbers (86% + price comparison) create real commitment. The price anchor "less than 2 weeks of cigarettes" reframes the cost. Handles every objection gracefully including "probably not."
8-10: "That's a strong signal."
5-7: "Most people start there. Readiness builds."
1-4: "Appreciate the honesty. Readiness comes from taking the first step."
Readiness ≤5 → routes to 6-week program (slower, gradual)
Readiness ≥6 → routes to 6-day program (intensive, fast)
The payoff. Maximum personalization based on everything they told us.
Full-screen teal overlay with 3 animated progress bars: "Analyzing addiction pattern" → "Identifying smoker type" → "Matching program". ~7 seconds.
Card: "Where should I send your personalized profile?" + email input + "See My Profile →" button.
Bonus: "We'll also send you the 5-Minute Craving Killer technique."
Email gate placed AFTER quiz, BEFORE results = 3-5× higher capture rate than upfront gate (research-backed). User has invested 8 minutes and genuinely wants to see results.
What Quincy can and cannot say. Enforced in the system prompt.
6 types, computed server-side. Used for type tease (Q18) and full reveal (results page).
| Type | Icon | Triggered By | Hidden Truth |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stress Smoker | 😤 | stress/relax in why + stress/work/evening triggers | Nicotine withdrawal creates the stress. Smoking just relieves the withdrawal. |
| Social Smoker | 🥂 | social in why + social/alcohol triggers | Your brain linked connection with cigarette. Learned = can be unlearned. |
| Habitual Smoker | 🔁 | automatic/focus in why + morning/meals/coffee triggers | Habits run on autopilot. Need pattern interruption, not willpower. |
| Emotional Smoker | 💭 | angry/boredom in why | Smoking numbs emotions temporarily, then they come back stronger. |
| Reward Smoker | 🏆 | reward/enjoy in why | The "reward" is actually withdrawal relief. Non-smokers feel fine without it. |
| Identity Smoker | 🎭 | 15+ years smoking | Your identity isn't smoking — it's who you were before and who you choose to become. |
Algorithm decides which program to recommend. Not the user.
Route to 6-Week Gradual if ANY of:
Otherwise → 6-Day Intensive
Maps to iProgramId = 3 (6-day) or iProgramId = 9 (6-week LTP) in the QuitSure backend.
