📊 6-Week Cumulative View (Jan 25 – Mar 1 avg vs FY25 same period)

🎯 Automation: 11.92% — Up +0.63pp YoY, 59.6% to Target

Automation adoption is up +0.63pp YoY to 11.92%. The strongest growth is in exactly the right segments: Year 4-5 tenure (+1.99pp), >$1k MRR (+2.45pp, now at 33%), and $300-1k MRR (+1.98pp, now at 24%). These high-value cohorts already exceed the 20% target individually — proof that the product works when users are ready.

Where the gap lives: The <$50 MRR long tail (76K users at only 7%) and new users (Month 1-12 at 5-11%) represent the bulk of the 8.08pp gap. Current organic pace is +0.02pp/week — growth experiments can accelerate this, but closing the full gap to 20% requires big swings to land.

Result: Growing in all the right places. High-value segments already at target. Mass market is the remaining challenge.

🔍 Events Flowing: 26.26% — 84.7% to Target, Most Achievable OKR

At 26.26%, we're 4.74pp from the 31% Q3/Q4 target. The headline shows a slight YoY decline (-0.96pp), but higher MRR segments are already at 39-40% — showing the product works at scale where customers are most engaged.

Results by cohort: $300-1k MRR (+0.67pp), Premium package (+0.41pp), Legacy Monthly (+0.42pp), and Year 1-2 tenure (+0.75pp) are all positive — even while the topline dips. The <$50 MRR segment (76K users at 18%) is the largest addressable pool for growth experiments. Big swings unlock Diana's 70% stretch.

Result: Most achievable OKR. Known root cause for decline. Multiple segments trending up despite headline.

📉 Last Week Trend (Week of Mar 2 vs prior week)

⚠️ Automation Dropped -0.14pp — Sharpest Weekly Decline in 6 Weeks

Topline fell from 11.36% → 11.22%, erasing 4 weeks of gains. The decline was broad across mid-tenure and low-MRR cohorts:

Biggest drops: Year 2-3 tenure -1.21pp  |  Year 1-2 -0.90pp  |  Month 1-3 -0.50pp  |  <$50 MRR -0.28pp (hit 6.88%, lowest in window)
Still growing: Year 3-4 +0.36pp  |  Year 4-5 +0.25pp  |  $300-1k MRR +0.09pp

One week doesn't make a trend, but this is the broadest pullback in the window. Could be billing cycle, seasonal, or early friction signal in the mid-market. Worth monitoring next week.

✅ Events Flowing Held Steady — 27.15% → 27.18% (+0.03pp)

Unlike automation, events flowing showed no decline in the last week. The metric remained stable at ~27.2%, confirming that the automation dip is not a platform-wide issue but specific to automation activation in mid-tenure / low-MRR segments.

Signal: Events data infrastructure is resilient. The automation pullback is isolated — different root cause, different lever.

👀 Watch: New User Automation Adoption Declining Both Cumulatively (-1.81pp YoY) and Last Week (-0.50pp WoW)

Month 1-3 tenure is the only cohort declining on both time horizons — down -1.81pp YoY on the 6-week average and -0.50pp in the most recent week alone. This is the segment where growth experiments and big swings have the highest potential impact.

This is the bellwether cohort. If new user activation doesn't improve, cumulative metrics will continue to erode.

Combined View — Where Both Metrics Move Together

BOTH METRICS

Cohorts where automation AND events flowing are both improving — the strongest signal of deepening engagement.

Automation vs Events Flowing YoY Change — By MRR Bucket

$300-1k MRR is the sweet spot: both metrics improving. Higher MRR = automation growth outpacing events decline.

💎 The $300-1k MRR Story: Both Metrics Positive

The $300-1k MRR segment (15,900 users) is the only cohort where BOTH automation (+1.98pp) AND events flowing (+0.67pp) are improving YoY. These are our Complex Sellers and Cross-Channel Builders — the ICP we're building for. They represent the strongest signal that product investments are translating to measurable deepening of engagement.

Additional "both positive" segments: Premium package (Auto +0.89pp, Events +0.41pp) and Legacy Monthly (Auto +1.75pp, Events +0.42pp). Year 1-2 tenure shows both metrics improving (Auto +0.60pp, Events +0.75pp).

4. Root cause of concern New user onboarding friction — newer cohorts discovering automations at lower rate Shopify API sync issue impacting eComm data flowing for Tech Partner channel
5. Hidden positive High-value customers adopting fastest (MRR-correlated) — validates product-market fit $300-1k MRR only segment growing (+0.67pp). Higher MRR at 39-40% — product works at scale.
6. Path to target Growth experiments: <$50 MRR (76K users at 7%) + new users (5-11%) — incremental gains → ~14-15%
Big swings: Step-function product bets needed to unlock the remaining 5-6pp to 20%
Growth experiments: Shopify sync fix (+2-3pp) + lower MRR activation (76K users at 18%) → path to 31%
Big swings: Required for Diana's 70% stretch — new data sources + zero-friction setup
7. Net assessment ⚠️ Growing in the right segments. Experiments get us to ~15%. Big swings needed for 20%. 🔵 Closest OKR to close. Experiments can reach 31%. Big swings unlock the stretch.
