How it works
We calculate a decay score
Signals are summed and discounted for very new features, since early low usage is expected and not true decay.
Get a clear recommendation
The verdict tells you whether to retire, simplify, reposition, or leave the feature as-is based on the score.

Frequently asked questions
Why does feature age affect the score?
A feature launched less than 3 months ago typically has naturally low adoption while users discover it, so the score applies a maturity discount to avoid flagging genuinely new features as decaying.
Does this replace product analytics?
No. It's a fast, rule-based check using signals you already know. A dedicated product analytics platform will track feature-level usage decline automatically and continuously.
Should I always retire a high-decay-score feature?
Not necessarily. A high score means the feature is a strong candidate for review — repositioning or simplifying it may recover value before you consider retirement.
