Measure leading indicators weekly: activation, retained usage, and content entrances.
Use lightweight dashboards with 8–10 tiles instead of 40 charts.
Pair quant data with monthly user calls to keep context.
Events that matter
Instrument only the events that map to activation, retention, and revenue.
- Activation: first key action completed (e.g., first integration connected).
- Engagement: weekly active usage of the core feature, not logins.
- Revenue: conversion by channel with last-touch and data-driven attribution.
Stack that scales
You can stay nimble without enterprise tooling.
- Use CDP or tag manager to keep schemas clean; enforce naming conventions.
- Create weekly snapshots of KPIs to spot drift early.
- Automate alerts for anomalies in signups, demo requests, and churn.
Rituals for action
Data gets used when it is part of a meeting, not a dashboard.
- Weekly growth standup: wins, blockers, and one experiment to ship.
- Monthly research call highlights to pair with quantitative trends.
- Quarterly metrics review to retire KPIs that no longer predict revenue.
