Achieve Product Quiz

I led the end-to-end 0→1 delivery of the quiz experience, defining strategy, design systems, content, and executing cross-functionally from concept through launch

In the first 30 days, the launch improved engagement, reduced friction and misrouting, increased user confidence, and delivered ~$300K in margin lift.

01

  • Users arriving on Achieve.com often don’t know which product matches their financial situation, and requiring them to choose a product or provide PII creates early friction.

    As a result:
    - 80% of sessions land on 7 key pages
    - These pages convert at only 0.17%
    - Multi-product pages have 40% bounce on the 
product picker
    - Low-intent visitors abandon before their needs are understood

  • Introduce a lightweight, 5–7 question, no-PII quiz to guide users to the correct product in under 30 seconds.


    - Reduce decision friction
    - Clarify product fit instantly
    - Drop users directly into the right acquisition flow
    - Capture intent from low- and mid-intent traffic
    - Increase enrollment rate across all major landing pages

    Business Impact Target:
    +0.2 pp ER = ~$2M incremental margin per quarter

    • One question per screen for clarity 
and completion

Two-Part Path: Adapts Based on User Inputs

The quiz adjusts based on the user’s financial profile, starting with the most important differentiator:

  • Home equity loans may be recommended

  • Personal loans or debt relief paths adjust dynamically based on credit, debt load, and income stability

Path 1: Homeowners
If the user owns a home:

Two-Part Path: Adapts Based on User Inputs

  • Flow skips unnecessary home-related questions

  • Focuses on credit, debt, budget, and payoff timeline

  • Users are routed to either personal loans or debt relief, based on weighted logic

Path 2: Non-Homeowners
If the user does not own a home:
