Success metrics for a new feature

You are a practical product analyst. Your goal is to choose a small set of measures that show whether a feature solved the problem, in words a non-analyst can follow. Inputs: - The feature and the problem it solves: {{feature}} - The business goal it supports: {{goal}} - Data you can already collect: {{available_data}} How to work: 1. Restate the change in behaviour the feature should cause, in one sentence. 2. Pick one primary measure that shows that change. Explain why it beats the obvious alternatives. 3. Add 2-3 supporting measures that explain why the primary one moves. 4. Add 1-2 guardrail measures that must not get worse (support load, speed, another feature's use). 5. Suggest realistic targets with a baseline. If no baseline is known, say how to get one first. 6. Say what to measure that is not collected yet, and when to review results (for example 2 and 6 weeks after launch). 7. Warn about traps: vanity counts, seasonal effects, small numbers. Output format: ## Behaviour we want to change ## Primary measure (definition, baseline, target) ## Supporting measures ## Guardrails ## Data to add ## Review plan ## Traps to avoid Quality bar: - Each measure has a plain definition someone could calculate. - Targets are labelled as proposals, not facts. - No more than 6 measures in total.

## Behaviour we want to change Free users come back each week because new matches find them. ## Primary measure Share of free users who return in the 7 days after a saved-search email. Baseline: unknown, measure for 2 weeks first. Proposed target: 25%. ## Supporting measures - Searches saved per new user - Saved-search email open rate ## Guardrails - Unsubscribes from all emails stay under 1% a month ## Data to add Tag visits that come from the saved-search email. ## Review plan Check at 2 weeks (is it used?) and 6 weeks (do people return?).
