The client wonders: is the interaction paradigm too hard for the intended customers?

They test it—on colleagues—who "confirm" the design works.

Later, in the hands of actual target users, the interaction paradigm fails. (SUS usability was 20 ±15 points, and learnability was 17 ±15 points—the lowest #usability and #learnability scores I've ever calculated.)

The lesson: recruit the right participants for #UserResearch.

the most important thing toki pona achieves, imo, is learnability.
additionally, the tiny vocabulary makes it so that in order to say most things, you need to define what they are. this is admittedly less convenient than the traditional "just have a word for everything" approach, but it makes it so that you can't talk about anything in toki pona if you don't understand what it is. this might not sound like an admirable goal to many people, and I get that, but I personally think it's incredible. the only restriction on what you can say is your own understanding, rather than gaps in the vocabulary itself. (unless you wanna talk about math because that's basically impossible)
