Quick Reference

1. North Star Metric Alignment — Define a single metric capturing the core value your product delivers, then decompose it into actionable input metrics (Acquisition Rate, Feature Usage, Retention Rate).
2. The "So What?" Principle — Never present data without an insight and a clear recommendation. The audience should never have to ask "So what does this mean?"
3. Single Source of Truth (SSOT) — Maintain a centralized Data Dictionary defining every key metric to prevent conflicting reports and misalignment across teams.
4. AARRR Funnel Segmentation — Structure all growth analysis around Pirate Metrics (Acquisition, Activation, Retention, Referral, Revenue) to identify critical drop-off points.
5. Cohort Analysis Over Aggregates — Always segment by acquisition channel, sign-up date cohort, device type, and behavioral traits. The most powerful tool for understanding true retention and LTV.
6. Hypothesis-Driven Analysis — Every analysis starts with a clear, testable hypothesis. Never run open-ended explorations without a defined question.
7. Guardrail Metrics for Experiments — When running A/B tests, define both a primary metric and guardrail metrics (churn, LTV) to ensure short-term gains don't mask long-term damage.
8. Instrument Before You Launch — Advocate for a robust tracking plan before any feature or campaign launch. Capture all necessary parameters for granular analysis.
9. Visualization Tells a Story — Match chart type to data purpose: line charts for trends, bar charts for comparisons, scatter plots for correlations.
10. Executive Summary First — Begin every report with a concise, non-technical summary of key findings, implications, and recommended next steps. Detailed data goes to appendices.
11. Four-Level Analytics Hierarchy — Progress through Descriptive (what happened), Diagnostic (why), Predictive (what will happen), Prescriptive (what should we do).
12. LTV:CAC as the Health Ratio — Track Customer Lifetime Value against Customer Acquisition Cost as the primary indicator of sustainable unit economics. Break CAC down by channel.
