Slide In: Onsite conversion and engagement operations

Slide In matters only if the evidence supports a paid workflow around turning onsite engagement widgets into measurable leads, trust, and conversions, not a list of isolated fixes. The current commercial thesis is: Popups, social proof, reviews, quizzes, and embeds can hurt trust or performance unless teams can prove they work. The entry wedge is to audit engagement widgets, conversion handoffs, display rules, and trust signals before they damage campaigns.
