Launch Attribution for Tiny User Cohorts
A lightweight analytics product for new apps that captures acquisition source, separates returning testers from real new users, and shows retention by channel. It is designed for the first 10 to 500 users, where mainstream analytics is too noisy and vanity metrics hide what is actually working.
これが重要な理由
You launch and quickly realize installs are a misleading comfort metric. A handful of people arrive from different places, some already know your product, others found it independently, and you cannot tell which group matters most. If onboarding has rough edges, new users may leave before you even understand whether the channel was good. What you need is not another enterprise dashboard but a simple way to see where real discovery happened, which source brought people who activated, and whether your first unbiased users are sticking around. Without that visibility, every growth decision feels like guessing from a sample that is too small to trust.

エビデンスの概要
AIがこのインサイトをどのように統合したか — 逐語的な引用はありません
Source attribution and channel quality were among the most repeated themes, appearing across roughly ten mentions after merging both batches. Participants repeatedly emphasized that total signups are less useful than understanding which channels brought truly new users and whether those users stayed. Multiple comments also highlighted the need to separate familiar testers from unbiased discovery, especially in the first weeks after launch.
