Use Inversion to Solve a Problem

Help me apply the mental model of Inversion to solve this problem: '[State the problem or goal, e.g., 'How can we increase user sign-ups for our app?', 'How can I have more productive meetings?']'. First, let's identify all the ways to guarantee failure or achieve the *opposite* outcome (e.g., 'What would absolutely prevent sign-ups?', 'What makes meetings completely unproductive?'). Then, let's consider how avoiding those failure points helps achieve the original goal.
