⚠️ 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
At the current rate of deterioration, severity is projected to increase from 57.5 to approximately 72 within 30 days. Estimated impact would grow from 21.3% to approximately 27.6%. Without intervention, this trajectory compounds — each month of inaction makes recovery more difficult and more expensive. The longer intervention is delayed, the more structural the deterioration becomes: what is correctable today may require fundamental change in 60 days.
🔍 Signal Attribution
Risk is distributed across 5 signals. No single signal dominates — multiple factors require attention.
📈 Scenario Projections
If nothing changes — projected severity: 71.9
At the current rate of deterioration, severity is projected to increase from 57.5 to approximately 72 within 30 days. Estimated impact would grow from 21.3% to approximately 27.6%. Without intervention, this trajectory compounds — each month of inaction makes recovery more difficult and more expensive. The longer intervention is delayed, the more structural the deterioration becomes: what is correctable today may require fundamental change in 60 days.
If you act now — target: 29.9
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 30 within 59 days. Estimated impact would decline from 21.3% to approximately 11.2%. Note: approximately 11.5 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: 66.1
If action is delayed by 30 days, severity is projected to compound from 57.5 to approximately 66. Impact would grow from 21.3% to 25.1%. 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 34, leaving more residual risk than early action would.
