How it works

1

Pick your stage and business model

Choose from pre-launch, early beta, public launch, or growth, and select the closest business model — subscription, marketplace, transactional, freemium, or services.

2

Get baseline targets adjusted for you

Activation, engagement and week-4 retention baselines are adjusted up or down based on your stage and model.

3

See suggested business metrics

A short list of the business metrics that matter most for your specific model, like MRR for subscriptions or repeat transaction rate for marketplaces.

Frequently asked questions

Are these targets industry benchmarks?

No — they're deliberately simple, round starting points adjusted for your stage and model, meant to give you something concrete to aim for, not a precise industry statistic.

Why do targets change by stage?

Earlier stages (pre-launch, early beta) get a lower bar since the product and audience are still forming; growth stage expects a higher bar since the product should be proven.

Why does business model affect the numbers?

Retention matters most for subscription businesses, while transactional and marketplace models weight activation and repeat-purchase behavior differently.
