Cohort

cohort analysis

A group of customers identified by a common starting point (e.g., month of first purchase, acquisition source) and tracked over time.

Why it matters

Averaged numbers hide changes. Cohorts show whether new customers are better or worse than previous ones.

What's missing without it

Without cohort segmentation, product improvements get lost in averages calculated together with older customers.

When it is used

When evaluating changes in onboarding, comparing traffic source quality, analyzing retention.

How we use it

The March cohort has 44% retention after six months, while the April cohort has 51% — something between those months worked better.
