⚠️ Primary Risk Signal
Cohort Retention Deterioration
🧠 Root Cause Hypothesis
Recent cohorts are retaining worse than historical baselines, suggesting acquisition quality or onboarding issues. This matters now because cohort degradation is a systemic problem, not a point failure — whatever changed in your acquisition or onboarding is affecting every new customer who enters the system.

🎯 Highest Leverage Fix
When recent cohorts underperform historical baselines, something changed at the top of your funnel. It could be a new acquisition channel delivering lower-intent users, a messaging shift attracting the wrong expectations, or an onboarding change that removed a critical activation step. Compare cohorts by source, not just by date.
⚡ If Ignored
If current improvement continues, severity is projected to decline from 10.0 to approximately 8 within 30 days. Estimated impact would decrease from 4.4% to approximately 3.9%. No urgent intervention required, but continued monitoring is recommended.
🔍 Signal Attribution
Risk is concentrated: Cohort Retention Deterioration accounts for 100% of total severity. Fixing this single signal would significantly reduce overall risk.
📈 Scenario Projections
If nothing changes — projected severity: 8.5
If current improvement continues, severity is projected to decline from 10.0 to approximately 8 within 30 days. Estimated impact would decrease from 4.4% to approximately 3.9%. No urgent intervention required, but continued monitoring is recommended.
If you act now — target: 5.2
If the highest-leverage fix is implemented within 14 days, initial results are projected to appear within 28 days, with full recovery to a severity of approximately 5 within 59 days. Estimated impact would decline from 4.4% to approximately 2.8%. Note: approximately 2.0 points of severity may be structural and resistant to this single intervention — additional measures may be needed for full risk resolution.
If you wait — severity compounds to: 11.5
If action is delayed by 30 days, severity is projected to compound from 10.0 to approximately 12. Impact would grow from 4.4% to 4.9%. Recovery from this elevated level would take approximately 88 days — 29 days longer than if action is taken now. The same intervention would only reduce severity to approximately 6, leaving more residual risk than early action would.
