Problem

Scenario

You're working on a consumer fintech product and need a clear definition of activation. The team wants a metric that reflects real user value early, but also predicts whether someone will become a retained and healthy customer.

Question

How would you define activation for a consumer fintech product like Chime?

What This Tests

  • Choosing an activation event that reflects real customer value
  • Connecting early funnel behavior to retention
  • Defining a measurable conversion metric
  • Using leading indicators instead of vanity metrics
