Problem

Scenario

You've shipped a product change and want to understand its full impact. The team cares about immediate usage signals, but also wants to know whether the change improves durable customer value over time.

Question

What would you look at to understand whether a feature is creating long-term value or just short-term engagement?

What this tests

  • Separating leading indicators from lagging indicators
  • Using retention, not just engagement, to judge feature value
  • Connecting feature adoption to LTV and account outcomes
  • Building a metric framework that avoids novelty bias
