• dark-ux-atlas.csv — Dark pattern captures with severity 0–5 + notes
• onboarding-lab.csv — Onboarding task timings, steps, and success rates

• Cancel maze Hard to Cancel → evidence link & screenshots
• Cardwall first Paywall before content → timing run notes
• Confirmshaming Copy capture + brand reply (if any)

Method (short)

Sampling: open-web captures, user submissions, and our own runs. Two raters per entry; tie-breaker by editor. Dark patterns rated 0–5 by severity (±MAD). Onboarding tasks report median time-to-value and IQR (p25–p75). Success rates use Wilson 95% CIs. Duplicates across regions/AB tests are merged via duplicate_of.
