Instructions
操作步骤
Step 1: Define Each Stage
步骤1:定义各阶段
AARRR Stages:
| Stage | Question | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Acquisition | How do users find you? | Traffic, channels |
| Activation | Do they have a great first experience? | Onboarding, aha moment |
| Retention | Do they come back? | Engagement, habit |
| Revenue | Do they pay? | Conversion, monetization |
| Referral | Do they tell others? | Virality, NPS |
AARRR阶段:
| 阶段 | 核心问题 | 关注重点 |
|---|---|---|
| Acquisition(获客) | 用户如何找到你? | 流量、渠道 |
| Activation(激活) | 用户是否获得良好首次体验? | 新用户引导、惊喜时刻 |
| Retention(留存) | 用户是否会回头? | 参与度、使用习惯 |
| Revenue(营收) | 用户是否付费? | 转化、 monetization(变现) |
| Referral(推荐) | 用户是否会推荐他人? | 病毒性、NPS |
Step 2: Set Stage-Specific Metrics
步骤2:设置分阶段指标
Metrics Framework:
| Stage | Primary Metric | Supporting Metrics |
|---|---|---|
| Acquisition | CAC, Unique visitors | Channel mix, CTR, CPM |
| Activation | Activation rate | Time to activate, drop-off points |
| Retention | D7/D30 retention | DAU/MAU, churn rate |
| Revenue | LTV, ARPU | Conversion rate, ACV |
| Referral | Viral coefficient | NPS, referral rate |
指标框架:
| 阶段 | 核心指标 | 辅助指标 |
|---|---|---|
| 获客 | CAC、独立访客数 | 渠道组合、CTR、CPM |
| 激活 | 激活率 | 激活时长、流失节点 |
| 留存 | D7/D30留存率 | DAU/MAU、 churn rate(流失率) |
| 营收 | LTV、ARPU | 转化率、ACV |
| 推荐 | 病毒系数 | NPS、推荐率 |
Step 3: Map Your Funnel
步骤3:绘制你的转化漏斗
Funnel Template:
Acquisition → Activation → Retention → Revenue → Referral
100% → 30% → 15% → 5% → 1%Calculate conversion rates between each stage.
漏斗模板:
获客 → 激活 → 留存 → 营收 → 推荐
100% → 30% → 15% → 5% → 1%计算各阶段间的转化率。
Step 4: Identify Bottlenecks
步骤4:识别瓶颈
Bottleneck Analysis:
| Drop-off | Diagnosis |
|---|---|
| Acquisition → Activation | Poor onboarding or wrong traffic |
| Activation → Retention | Not finding core value |
| Retention → Revenue | Pricing or value misalignment |
| Revenue → Referral | Not delighting paying users |
瓶颈分析:
| 流失环节 | 诊断结论 |
|---|---|
| 获客 → 激活 | 新用户引导体验差或流量不精准 |
| 激活 → 留存 | 用户未发现核心价值 |
| 留存 → 营收 | 定价与价值不匹配 |
| 营收 → 推荐 | 付费用户满意度不足 |
Step 5: Prioritize Experiments
步骤5:优先级排序增长实验
ICE Framework:
- Impact: How much will it move the metric?
- Confidence: How sure are we?
- Ease: How easy to implement?
ICE框架:
- Impact(影响):对指标的提升幅度?
- Confidence(信心):我们对假设的确定程度?
- Ease(难度):实施的难易程度?

2. ACTIVATION ⚠️ BOTTLENECK
2. 激活 ⚠️ 瓶颈
Metrics:
| Metric | Value | Benchmark | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Signup → Activated | 30% | 40-60% | ⚠️ Below |
| Time to activate | 3.2 days | <1 day | ⚠️ Slow |
| Activation rate | 900/3,000 | - | - |
Activation Definition:
"Activated" = Created first project + invited 1 team member
Drop-off Analysis:
| Step | Users | Drop-off |
|---|---|---|
| Signup complete | 3,000 | - |
| Email verified | 2,400 | -20% |
| Created project | 1,500 | -38% |
| Invited team | 900 | -40% ⚠️ |
Primary Bottleneck: "Invite team member" step losing 40%
Experiment Ideas:
| Experiment | Hypothesis | ICE |
|---|---|---|
| Skip team invite in onboarding | Removes friction, activate solo first | 8/8/9 = 8.3 |
| In-app invite prompt (day 2) | Right timing, after value seen | 7/7/8 = 7.3 |
| Email team invite reminder | Low effort, catches drop-offs | 5/6/9 = 6.7 |
指标:
| 指标 | 数值 | 基准值 | 状态 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 注册→激活转化率 | 30% | 40-60% | ⚠️ 低于基准 |
| 激活时长 | 3.2天 | <1天 | ⚠️ 过慢 |
| 激活用户数 | 900/3,000 | - | - |
激活定义:
"激活用户" = 创建首个项目 + 邀请1名团队成员

| 邮箱验证 | 2,400 | -20% |
| 创建项目 | 1,500 | -38% |
| 邀请团队成员 | 900 | -40% ⚠️ |
核心瓶颈: "邀请团队成员"步骤流失40%用户
实验建议:
| 实验方案 | 假设 | ICE评分 |
|---|---|---|
| 新用户引导中跳过团队邀请 | 减少摩擦,先让个人用户激活 | 8/8/9 = 8.3 |
| 次日弹出应用内邀请提示 | 时机恰当,用户已体验价值后 | 7/7/8 = 7.3 |
| 发送邀请团队成员的邮件提醒 | 实施难度低,挽回流失用户 | 5/6/9 = 6.7 |
3. RETENTION
3. 留存
Metrics:

5. REFERRAL ⚠️ OPPORTUNITY
5. 推荐 ⚠️ 机会点
Metrics:
| Metric | Value | Benchmark | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Referral rate | 30% | 20%+ | ✅ Good |
| Viral coefficient | 0.45 | >1 = viral | ⚠️ Below |
| NPS | +32 | >30 | ✅ Good |
| Referral signups | 45 | - | - |
Calculation:
- 150 paying customers
- 30% refer (45 referrals)
- Each referral generates 1 signup
- Viral coefficient = 45/150 × (6% activation) = 0.018
- Not organic virality, but healthy referral base
Experiment Ideas:
| Experiment | Hypothesis | ICE |
|---|---|---|
| Referral incentive (2-way) | Motivation for both parties | 7/8/7 = 7.3 |

| 2 | Referral | 30% | 50% | +30 referral signups |
| 3 | Paid channel mix | 6% conv | 8% conv | -$10 CAC |
90-Day Goal:
If activation improves 30% → 45%:
- +450 more activated users
- At 17% conversion = +76 new customers
- At $89 ARPU = +$6,800 MRR
| 优先级 | 关注方向 | 当前值 | 目标值 | 影响 |

| 2 | 推荐 | 30% | 50% | 每月新增30个推荐注册量 |
| 3 | 付费渠道组合 | 6%转化率 | 8%转化率 | CAC降低$10 |
90天目标:
若激活率从30%提升至45%:
- 每月新增450名激活用户
- 按17%转化率计算,新增76名付费客户
- 按$89 ARPU计算,每月新增$6,800 MRR

Bottleneck: RETENTION
瓶颈:留存
Problem: Only 25% retained at D30 (should be 40%+)
What this means:
- Great at attracting and activating
- Users try it, find value initially
- But don't form a habit / come back
- Losing 3,000 activated users monthly
Likely Causes:
- Single-use case (solved problem, left)
- Not enough ongoing value
- Poor re-engagement
- Competitor switching
Recommended Experiments:
- User interviews with churned users
- Email re-engagement sequence
- Weekly value summary email
- Add recurring use case
Impact if fixed:
If retention → 40%: 1,600 retained → 320 paid
That's +120 customers/month (+60%)
undefined问题: 30天留存率仅25%(应达到40%+)
意味着:
- 获客和激活环节表现出色
- 用户尝试产品后,初期能感知价值
- 但未形成使用习惯 / 不再回访
- 每月流失3000名激活用户
可能原因:
- 单一使用场景(问题解决后即离开)
- 缺乏持续价值输出
- 再触达机制不足
- 用户转向竞品
推荐实验:
- 对流失用户进行访谈
- 邮件再触达序列
- 每周价值总结邮件
- 增加周期性使用场景
优化影响:
若留存率提升至40%:1600名留存用户 → 320名付费用户
每月新增120名付费客户(+60%)
