4. The employees are told repeatedly to report waste, fraud, and abuse.

If these employees leave gov’t service, they are often restricted from working on projects that are even remotely related to what they worked on while gov’t employees.

3. The $ that is spent is thoroughly accounted for. There are numerous checks to ensure the tax payers got value for money.

The $ not spent in a certain time frame expires.

Add to this every gov’t employee has serious background checks & swears an oath to uphold & defend the constitution.

2. There are also accounting rules that exist in Gov’t only. Gov’t agencies can have $ that can only be used for certain things or in certain time frames.

This $ is taken in by IRS, which is part of the exec branch. Congress (legislative branch) says how and when the money can be spent. 🧵

No matter who I am talking to, I try to avoid any jargon. If I feel jargon might help the conversation, I define it. If they use jargon, I ask them what do you mean when you say (foo).

Wow! No words

4. After the task is complete - ask the participant to go back and explain what they did and why or ask them about other components of the UI. All of this will help to make sure users can build a mental model of the system

3. In usability tests - you must test if there is enough friction to build s mental model. if using Figma, you must enable all the buttons not just the happy path.

2…Friction can be important to usability. Force users to make a decision between 2 (or more) CTAs. It will prevent what Rasmussen termed “action slips” (e.g., pressing ok when they meant to press cancel).
