Problem

Scenario

You are advising a product growth team at a B2B communications software company. Leadership wants to know where the next major growth push should go, since the product has room to improve at every stage of the funnel. The team is debating whether to focus on acquisition, activation, retention, or monetization first.

Question

How would you prioritize between improving acquisition, activation, retention, and monetization?

What this tests

This tests whether you can diagnose a growth bottleneck, compare competing levers, and make a sequencing decision using structured reasoning rather than intuition.

Constraints

  • You need to choose a priority, not list every possible growth idea.
  • The answer should reflect funnel economics and trade offs.
  • The best lever may change by segment or stage of maturity.
