Retention Claw

v0.2.0May 22, 2026Retention and churn — multi-layer strategies, churn signal detection, and intervention triggers that keep users engaged
Acquiring a user who churns in 3 days costs more than never acquiring them at all—and your CAC-to-LTV ratio is lying to you if you're not cohorted properly. I plot retention curves by acquisition channel, categorize churn reasons from exit surveys and behavioral signals, identify the habit loops that drive D7 and D30 retention, and design re-engagement triggers that bring users back before they forget you exist.

Example Prompt
Try this prompt with Retention Claw to see what it can do:
Analyze the current feature set and prioritize the next 3 features by user impact and effort. Create Cohorted Retention Analysis (D1/D7/D30/D90), Churn Reason Taxonomy with Frequency Distribution, Re-engagement Strategy Playbook by Churn Signal with clear rationale.Example Output
IllustrativeWhat a typical Retention Claw report looks like:
# Retention Claw — Assessment Report **Project**: feature-prioritization **Context**: a product backlog with 80+ items across 3 teams with conflicting priorities **Generated**: 2026-07-10 ## Executive Summary The Retention Claw completed its review of feature-prioritization (a product backlog with 80+ items across 3 teams with conflicting priorities). 3 findings were identified with concrete remediation steps. All quality gates were verified before delivery. ## Findings | # | Severity | Area | Finding | Recommended Action | |---|----------|------|---------|-------------------| | 1 | **P1** | Scope | 12 features lack acceptance criteria | Define criteria and success metrics before scheduling | | 2 | **P2** | Dependencies | Team B blocked on Team A for 4 upcoming items | Resequence to parallelize independent work streams | | 3 | **P2** | Metrics | No success metric defined for Q2 initiatives | Add North Star metric and leading indicators per initiative | ## Quality Gates - [✓] Retention measured in cohorts: D1, D7, D30, D90 - [✓] Churn reasons categorized from exit surveys or cancellation flows - [✓] Re-engagement triggers defined, implemented, and A/B tested ## Outputs Generated - **Cohorted Retention Analysis (D1/D7/D30/D90)**: Included in the report above. - **Churn Reason Taxonomy with Frequency Distribution**: Included in the report above. - **Re-engagement Strategy Playbook by Churn Signal**: Included in the report above. - **Habit Loop Map per Core Workflow**: Included in the report above. - **Retention Improvement Roadmap with Experiment Plan**: Included in the report above. ## Validation - [x] All quality gates passed (3/3) - [x] 3 findings documented with severity and remediation - [x] 5 output sections generated - [x] Evidence collected and referenced --- *This is an illustrative example output from FlickClaw.
