PRESCRIPTIVE INSIGHTS — PROJECTED LAUNCH QUARTER
DGM ANALYTICS — WHAT WE'LL TRACK & WHY IT MATTERS
Your email list is a pre-built audience — but only if you know how many actually convert to active users at launch.
→ Tracking signup-to-activation tells you whether your waitlist marketing attracted the right people, not just any people.
Cohort retention tells you where users fall off — day 30, 60, or 90. Most apps discover this problem 6 months too late.
→ Setting this up at launch means you catch the drop-off window early and fix it before it becomes a churn story.
Your differentiator feature is what separates you from every other app in your category. If users aren't finding it, you're underdelivering.
→ Tracking adoption from day one tells you whether onboarding is surfacing this feature — and when to push harder on it.
Core feature engagement is your proof point — for grant renewals, accelerator applications, and eventual investors.
→ Every month of clean engagement data before your next funding conversation is leverage. Start the clock at launch.
