What if you have an existing DAU of 1000, with no previous retention data, how will you use this to forecast DAU?

Similarly, 80 users used the product for the first time on 1st September. > Typo. Should be 2nd September.

Loved this series! It would be so good to have a book on your learnings as a growth leader. Most of the available literature centres around generic advice & this substack series is literally what practitioners need. I have already read your book on tech - please do write one on growth as well!

wonderfully put - is there anyway we can use a regression or timeseries forecasting model to make it more scientific?
