Problem Context

Studies show 60% of users disable notifications within 2 weeks. The remaining 40% report anxiety from notification overload. Push notification open rates have dropped from 7.8% to 3.4% in 3 years.

Constraints

Must balance user peace with business engagement needs
Should work across OS boundaries if possible
Privacy-first approach
No dark patterns

Evaluation Criteria

Novelty of batching/filtering approach
User control vs automation balance
Impact on app engagement metrics
Technical feasibility
