1. What is the end metric that impacts the product growth? (#transactions, $GMV) Look at what drives the core growth loop.

    Metrics to track for Product Growth:

Remember the growth flywheel New sign up → AHA moment → keep on using the product → pay → refer → repeat

  1. What is the natural frequency of the product? Who is the core, power & casual user? Write down what did you understand about this from the #Understand section.

    Power User: A power user is a referrer of the app, uses it on a daily basis, they use cloud for stage and also the sub-products: PDF reader and tools.

    Frequency: Daily, for professional use.

    Core User: They are someone who uses the app to scan 2-3 times a week. Not all core would end up buying storage space. They do not use the other features massively but on a need basis.

    Frequency: Weekly, for personal or professional use.

    Casual User: This set of users are the ones that are seasonal and maybe download the app for a one time scan use. A casual user would use it for external purposes for a government activity or online file upload or file sharing.

    Frequency: Once, in a month or longer.

  2. To scale this over the next 12 month, what should be weekly/monthly goals?

Assume

  1. Weekly/ monthly/ yearly retention rate : Typical retention rates Here

  2. Assume CAC on each of the acquisition channels.

  3. Guesstimate LTV of your customers.

  4. Assume how much can you scale user acquisition every month

  5. Assume you have $100k budget

  6. Model the growth

Remember the growth equation

New user input levers

Retained user input levers

Resurrected user input levers

*Remember the basic stuff

  1. existing users = retained users + resurrected users.
  2. new users = Scanning for the first time.
  3. quick ratio = (new users + resurrected users) / churned users. (>1 means you are growing).
  4. assume users = monetised users (they paid you or you served an ad to them)*
