How it works

1

List candidate actions

Any user action loosely connected to the feature counts as a starting candidate — the tool helps you narrow it down.

2

Score each candidate

Actions that repeat, involve sharing, or represent a real commitment (like setting a default) score higher than a single click or page view.

3

Pick one primary signal to track

Tracking too many diluted signals makes adoption harder to read than tracking one strong one consistently.

Frequently asked questions

Why isn't a page view a good adoption signal?

A view can happen accidentally or out of curiosity. Adoption signals should reflect intent — creating something, inviting someone, or returning to use the feature again.

What if my feature is genuinely one-time use?

Mark it as not repeatable — the tool will weight completion or setup actions higher instead of penalizing you for lacking a repeat signal.

Should I track multiple adoption signals?

You can monitor a few, but pick one as your primary metric for decisions (e.g. keep/cut/expand) so different signals don't send conflicting messages.

How soon after release should I check this signal?

Give it 1-2 weeks of usage data at minimum — early spikes from curious existing users can be misleading before the feature has settled into regular use.

Does this replace a full analytics/event taxonomy?

No — this narrows a shortlist to the one signal worth instrumenting first. A broader event plan (see the MVP Analytics Event Planner) can track more later.
