# Each article ends with seven next steps instead of one

Open · low severity · failure · newsroom.sgit.ai

## What we saw

After the rating scales the foot of an article offers many routes onward with equal weight.

## Why it matters

At the moment the reader is most ready to continue, the page makes them choose among seven.

## The fix

One next step: the next part of the series, or the next "start here" piece for the reader's desk, then the newsletter.
