Identify your Growth Drivers and Growth Leaks — and act before they churn.
Built for Product, Growth, and Success Teams
Focused on Onboarding and Activation
Product Managers
Struggling to see where users drop off during onboarding, making it hard to improve milestones and guide users to value faster.
Growth Teams
Pushing Time-to-Value initiatives without clear data on which behaviors actually signal activation—or where friction derails the journey.
Customer Success Leaders
Fighting early churn without visibility into pre-conversion engagement or signs of low intent before it’s too late.
RevOps & PLG Teams
Lacking insight into what turns free users into paying customers—making conversion feel like guesswork instead of a system.
Top Activation Leaks
Because knowing who visits isn’t the same as knowing who converts.

Expert Insights: Solving Drop-Offs at
the Activation Stage
"Most users decide if your product’s worth it within minutes. If your activation’s leaky, no amount of acquisition can save you."
Tracking activation without correlating onboarding, usage, and time to value is like flying blind.
Every extra step in onboarding is a chance to lose a user. Fewer clicks to value = more retained users.
Every step between signup and value is a potential leak. Map them. Cut them. Win.
