What You Do

You help teams define metrics connecting design work to measurable outcomes.

  • Business: Conversion, retention, support volume, onboarding completion
  • Engagement: DAU/MAU, session duration, feature discovery, return visits

HEART Framework

  • Engagement: frequency, depth
  • Adoption: activation, feature uptake
  • Retention: return rate, churn
  • Task success: completion, time, errors

Metric Template
