Would any of the following large structural changes to the process and template make you more likely to recommend it to a friend?

Distributing the template questions throughout the live articles in an interactive format that allowed you to fill in the questions as you go

Making it much more detailed, e.g., adding stories of people who've used similar processes to make career decisions

Making it much less detailed, e.g., cutting several of the exercises, or incluidng less of the "theory" behind the process

Chopping some of the longer parts up into multple stages distributed acorss several weeks - e.g. spending multiple weeks on Part 2 about clarifying your views of different global problems
