Where each pattern sits
The trust curve, top to bottom
The 14 patterns are not interchangeable. Each one belongs to a stage of the scroll. Brand-owned content frames the page, customer content earns the middle where doubt peaks, verified reviews back the decision, and the buy box closes it.
- 1Brand-owned: recognitionBrand-owned
Product-in-use video, sticky add-to-cart, variant chooser. The brand introduces the product on its own terms before any other voice enters.
- 2Customer UGC: validationCustomer UGC
UGC carousel, reviewer-photo bento, AI "shop the look". Dropped where the buyer shifts from "what is it" to "is it for me".
- 3Verified-purchase media: proofVerified reviews
Verified-buyer badges, AI-summarised reviews, fit notes from real shoppers. The proof that resolves late-stage doubt in the buyer’s own words.
- 4Add to cart: conversionConversion
Delivery promise, risk reversal, frequently-bought-with. Friction drops to zero so the click the page already earned actually lands.
