What it shows

  • Basic expectations only prevent complaints; they never spark delight.
  • Performance attributes scale customer satisfaction linearly with quality.
  • Excitement features create outsized delight even with basic execution.

The takeaway

The Kano model prevents over-investing in baseline features that customers take for granted.
