New setup dashboard: first 2 weeks

The day-one setup lift held for a second week: completions up about a third on every comparable step, and client creation is now significantly up. Card clicks stayed down 45%. Conversion dipped in release week, then returned to normal.

Released Monday 6 July, 7pm NZT · full deploy, no flag, no holdout · weekday signup cohorts, 24-hour windows · before n = 1,212 (16 June to 3 July), after n = 737 (7 to 17 July)

More users complete setup on day one

Zero-step users fell from 51% to 43%. The gain lands at 2 and 3 steps.

Skipping is new: about 1 in 4 skips at least one step on day one, resolving the checklist instead of leaving it to nag.

Attention moved from the cards to the checklist

Setup, payment intent and client creation won. Cards lost.

Teammate row counts each design's own invite actions: staff records before the 2 July invite revamp; invitations, direct adds and invite links after. The checklist's team step is not comparable across designs, so it is not shown.

Note creation recovered to baseline in week 2, easing the AI-notes discovery worry. The card decline itself has persisted for 2 weeks.

Top 2 cards take 4 in 10 clicks. The bottom 4 feature cards earn about 2 clicks a day each across all users: show them only when relevant.

All-user clicks, 6 to 20 July. The customer story card has only been tracked since 13 July, so its bar under-counts. Testimonial rail, first tracked week: 15 users clicked it, 112 dismissed it.

Mobile improves as much as desktop

Mobile is 21% of signups in both periods (n = 157 after release).

  • Mobile setup completion now edges desktop (58.6% vs 57.5%), up 13.6 points on the old design.
  • Week 1 suggested the mobile client-creation gap was closing; with 2 weeks of data it persists (24% vs 32% desktop), though mobile did improve 4.7 points (not significant at n = 157).
  • The card decline is worst on mobile (28% to 12%). The step panel likely pushes the carousel below the fold on phones.

Users come back at least as often

Retention is activity-based: did the person use the product on day 3 or day 7 after their own signup.

Day N is the 24-hour window N days after each person's own signup; incomplete windows excluded (after cohort n = 327 for day 7). Day 7 always lands on the same weekday as signup, which is why it runs slightly above day 3 in the baseline.

Conversion dipped in release week, then recovered

Week 1 was a real dip: 0.99% subscribed within 7 days against a 3.14% organic baseline. Week 2 snapped back to 2.43% at 72 hours, the top of the June band. That pattern reads as a launch-week anomaly, not a persistent effect.

Organic share of each signup week subscribing within 72 hours (promo-code subscriptions excluded), all days, strictly censored.

  • 7-day conversion, mature cohorts: before 5.20% with promos, 3.14% organic. Release-week cohorts: 0.99% (4 subscribers of 405). The week 1 dip is statistically real.
  • A control group of mature pre-June accounts subscribed at normal rates all through July: the dip was specific to release-week signups, not the market.
  • Week 2 recovered fully at 72 hours. The old design had a comparable one-week crater (8 June, 0.39%) with no release in sight.
  • Stripe intent is holding at 7 days: 10.1% of after-release signups click connect Stripe within a week, against 6.0% before.

Final check on 24 July, when week 2's 7-day and week 1's 14-day windows mature. If week 2's 7-day rate lands near baseline, the release-week dip closes as an anomaly.

Tracking changes and caveats

2 July
Team-invite revamp, separate from the dashboard. Staff creation moved to invite acceptance; 'create staff' halved from this date.
6 July
V3 live for new signups and unfinished existing accounts. New per-step skip event. Completions are real user actions in both periods, verified against account-creation timing.
12 July
Richer tracking: checklist clicks, import source, per-step buttons.
13 July
Learn-the-basics, chat, story-card and testimonial events live. Book-a-call tile still emits nothing.
  • The old 'get started' PostHog dashboard (904713) now over-reads: feature completions rose about 5 times for mechanical reasons.
  • Any metric counting the team step as a completion shows a false decline.
  • No holdout: this is before-and-after, not a controlled test. Regional mix was stable (72 to 77% Americas both periods).
