Now we will share additional information about the product that we did not mention earlier, to avoid influencing your first impression. The product’s underlying timing analysis is inspired by Bazi, a traditional Chinese timing system, and translates that system into modern daily guidance, future patterns, important-moment preparation, and practical support. The product would not require you to learn traditional terminology first, and the goal is not to present itself as a traditional fortune-telling tool. Please answer the following questions based on this new information. 63. After learning that the underlying system is related to Bazi / Chinese timing, how has your interest changed Much higher Slightly higher No change Slightly lower Much lower
64. Why do you feel that way
65. Does that make it feel more trustworthy, less trustworthy, or more like traditional fortune-telling? Why
66. How much would you want the app to explain Bazi / Chinese timing No need to mention it on Home A short onboarding explanation is enough Let me open a deeper explanation if I want I would like a fairly detailed explanation This information would affect whether I use the app
