Document User Behavior Anticipation Stage in BID Framework

Description

This function documents the anticipated user behavior by listing bias mitigation strategies related to anchoring, framing, confirmation bias, etc. It also supports adding interaction hints and visual feedback elements.

Usage

bid_anticipate(
  previous_stage,
  bias_mitigations = NULL,
  include_accessibility = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

previous_stage	A tibble or list output from an earlier BID stage function.
bias_mitigations	A named list of bias mitigation strategies. If NULL, the function will suggest bias mitigations based on information from previous stages.
include_accessibility	Logical indicating whether to include accessibility mitigations. Default is TRUE.
...	Additional parameters. If 'interaction_principles' is provided, it will be ignored with a warning.

Value

A tibble containing the documented information for the "Anticipate" stage.

Examples

structure_info <- bid_structure(
  bid_interpret(
    bid_notice(
      "Issue with dropdown menus",
      evidence = "User testing indicated delays"
    ),
    central_question = "How can we improve selection efficiency?",
    data_story = list(
      hook = "Too many options",
      context = "Excessive choices",
      tension = "User frustration",
      resolution = "Simplify menu"
    )
  ),
  concepts = c("principle_of_proximity", "default_effect")
)

# Basic usage
bid_anticipate(
  previous_stage = structure_info,
  bias_mitigations = list(
    anchoring = "Use context-aware references",
    framing = "Toggle between positive and negative framing"
  )
)

# Let the function suggest bias mitigations based on previous stages
bid_anticipate(
  previous_stage = structure_info
)

# with accessibility included (default)
bid_anticipate(
  previous_stage = structure_info,
  bias_mitigations = list(
    anchoring = "Use context-aware references",
    framing = "Toggle between positive and negative framing"
  ),
  include_accessibility = TRUE
)
