Framework

Are we acquiring the wrong customer cohorts?

Has customer segment mix shifted?

Enterprise customers (8+ seats): now 32% of new signups (was 18% YoY ago)

SMB customers (2–5 seats): dropped from 55% to 41% of new signups — feature-light product

Did acquisition channels change user quality?

Paid (SEM/display) now 52% of signups, +18pp YoY. Organic fell from 42% to 30%.

Paid users activate core feature at 34% rate (vs organic 61%)

Is onboarding failing to drive core feature adoption?

Aha moment rate dropping?

Day 1 core feature completion: 58% (target 75%, was 70% YoY ago)

Day 7 retention among feature-explorers: 44% (benchmark: 65%)

Did product UI/flow changes increase friction?

Q3 redesign: onboarding flow reduced from 7 steps to 3 (gained 12pp Day 1 activation)

But mobile segment still 48% lower adoption (no mobile redesign yet)

Is monetization strategy misaligned with usage patterns?

Pricing plan fit correct for new cohorts?

Starter tier (50 actions/mo): now 44% of base; Starter users never upgrade (churn 18%/mo)

Pro tier (500 actions/mo): higher churn among 2–5 person teams (utilities underused)
