Symptom
Signup conversion rate is up twenty-two percent but eighty-one percent of new users never complete the core feature action within their first seven days.
Cause
Feature adoption is invisible in standard acquisition dashboards — the adoption-retention gap is not surfaced when retention is reported as a single aggregate number.
Impact
Thirty-day retention falls because the majority of acquired users churn before reaching the product behavior that drives long-term value.
