# Showcase: Social Proof

**Status: Stub — Full implementation in Wave 4**

This showcase is planned for Wave 4 development. The stub reserves the skill slot, documents the specification, and displays the correct response to users who request it.

---

## Overview

The Social Proof showcase builds trust and desire through a dynamic sequence of real-world validation signals. Toast notifications stack up to simulate live activity, testimonial cards enter with cinematic timing, a counter climbs to a milestone number, and a particle effect punctuates the achievement. Designed to create FOMO and social validation at scale.

Best for: SaaS products, marketplaces, communities, apps with user bases, launch campaigns, testimonial reels.
