Map at scale: why people stay, leave and pay

SESSION 01 · TUESDAY

Evidence at scale: retention and behaviour

Loop 2 starts with the people already using your product: who came back, who left, and what that tells you to work on next.

You will be able to
  • Explain how loop 2’s questions differ from loop 1’s: stay, leave and pay
  • Build a weekly retention cohort table from your events, every cell shown as a count with its base
  • Use the AARRR stages to locate your biggest leak, and tell vanity metrics from actionable ones
  • Plan interviews with churned users, power users and people who nearly left
  • Map one outcome, its opportunities, solutions and experiments on an opportunity solution tree

OUTPUT · Retention table + metrics tree + opportunity solution tree

SESSION 02 · THURSDAY

Research at volume, and the AI opportunity

Turn hundreds of messages into a few clear insights, then decide honestly whether AI belongs in your product, and test it by hand.

You will be able to
  • Combine sources (events, support messages, reviews, interviews) and say what each one misses
  • Tag feedback at volume into themes with counts and exact quotes, and audit a sample of the tagging
  • Judge where AI belongs in a product and where a rule, a person or nothing is better
  • Describe one AI opportunity: job, input, judgement, output and the cost of a mistake
  • Run the job by hand with Claude on ten real, anonymised inputs before writing any code

OUTPUT · Insight report + AI Opportunity Card (with ten hand runs)
