Funnels and retention, built from events

See where users drop off and understand who comes back. No extra setup required.

How funnels are derived from events

A funnel is a sequence of events that represents a user journey. When you track events, funnels emerge naturally.

Example: E-commerce checkout funnel

product_viewed

1,000

100%

add_to_cart

450

45%

checkout_completed

180

18%

With Mostly Good Metrics, you define funnels by selecting events in order. We calculate conversion rates, drop-off points, and time between steps automatically.

How retention works

Retention measures how many users come back after their first visit. It's the best indicator of product-market fit.

Example: Weekly retention cohorts

Cohort Week 0 Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4
Dec 1 100% 42% 28% 22% 19%
Dec 8 100% 45% 31% 25% -
Dec 15 100% 48% 33% - -

Each row is a cohort of users who started in the same week. Columns show what percentage returned in subsequent weeks. Improvements to your product should show up as higher retention in newer cohorts.

Why these metrics matter for shipping better products

Funnels answer "where"

Where are users dropping off? Which step in the onboarding is causing friction? Funnels show you exactly where to focus your effort.

Retention answers "if"

Are users actually getting value from your product? Retention is the ultimate measure of whether you're building something people want.

Events are the foundation

Track events once, get funnels and retention automatically. No separate data pipelines or complex setup.
