Choice Architecture
There is no such thing as a neutral design. Every form, every menu, every environment influences our decisions. A “Nudge” alters behavior in a predictable way without forbidding any options (Libertarian Paternalism).

The most powerful nudge is the Default Option. Most people stick with the default because they are lazy (Status Quo Bias).
