Somewhere between signup and 'aha moment,' you're losing 40-70% of people who were interested enough to try. Your team thinks the product is too complex. The real problem is specific - and every fix so far has been a guess.
Built for CPOs & growth leads at $3M-$80M ARR B2B SaaS

87% of users at one company never found the feature that drives 1.8x higher retention.
The feature existed. The discovery path didn't. Nobody on the team even knew the number - because analytics didn't cover it.
Your onboarding has 5 touchpoint layers: in-app flow, email sequence, empty states, help docs, CS triggers.
They're almost certainly contradicting each other. The welcome email arrives 6 hours late. The tour pushes the wrong feature. Day 7 email assumes activation that 70% haven't completed.
One B2B SaaS was losing $28-32K/month from a single onboarding step.
Half the users were blocked by an API prerequisite they didn't have credentials for. Not disengaged - stuck. The team would have spent months on 'simplification.' The actual fix took 4 days.
THIS IS YOUR FUNNEL
Most teams instrument the beginning of onboarding and stop. The drop-off is in the steps nobody's watching.
80% of churned users 'activated' by this definition. The real activation event is buried 3 steps deeper and nobody's tracking it.
Solo users, mid-market teams, and enterprise accounts all see the same flow. What works for solo practitioners actively breaks enterprise onboarding. Enterprise users churn at 3x the rate.
'Now that you've set up your dashboard...' But only 30% have. The other 70% get an email that confirms: this product isn't for me.
That diagnosis leads to an expensive, months-long simplification project. The real cause is usually something specific: a prerequisite step, a missing discovery path, a sequencing problem.
where users hit a wall nobody was watching
An API prerequisite blocked half the users who reached it. Not disengaged - stuck. The cost was invisible because analytics didn't cover anything past step 3.
of users never found the highest-value feature
The feature existed. The discovery path didn't. The expansion revenue from that one feature was worth more than the entire paid acquisition budget.
enterprise churn rate when forced through solo-practitioner onboarding
Three user types. One flow. The product team blamed product-market fit. It was a sequencing problem.
| TODAY | AFTER 2 WEEKS | |
|---|---|---|
| Funnel visibility | Steps 1-3 instrumented. Then nothing. | Full funnel by step, cohort, segment, acquisition source |
| Activation definition | 'Logged in' (80% of churners 'activated') | Real activation event, tied to retention and expansion |
| Drop-off cost | Unknown - you know it's bad, not how much it costs | Revenue impact quantified per step, per segment |
| Root cause | 'Product is too complex' | Specific: step 4 prerequisite / missing discovery / wrong email timing |
| User segmentation | Everyone gets the same flow | Distinct paths per user type (solo, mid-market, enterprise) |
| Time to fix | 6-month simplification project | 4-day engineering implementation (after 10-day analysis) |
THE PROCESS
DAYS 1-4 · FUNNEL RECONSTRUCTION
We reconstruct your full activation funnel from raw event data. Every step measured by drop-off rate, segmented by user type, cohort, plan, and acquisition source. Where does your funnel actually break - and for whom?
DAYS 5-8 · ECOSYSTEM AUDIT
All 5 onboarding layers reviewed: in-app flow, email sequence, empty states, help docs, CS triggers. We map where they contradict each other, where timing is off, and where the discovery path to your highest-value feature is missing.
DAYS 9-10 · ROOT CAUSE + FIX SPEC
Specific diagnosis with revenue impact. Engineering spec for the fix. Prioritized by impact vs. effort.
WHY WE FIND WHAT YOUR TEAM MISSED
ProductQuant rebuilds activation funnels from raw event data - not from in-app tour analytics. We look at every touchpoint layer simultaneously: what the product shows, what the emails say, what the docs explain, and where they contradict each other.
The reason internal teams miss the root cause: they optimize the layer they own. Product optimizes the tour. Marketing optimizes the emails. Nobody optimizes the ecosystem - because it crosses team boundaries. That's exactly why it's broken.
We've found five-figure monthly leaks hiding in single onboarding steps. We've tripled feature discovery rates. We've eliminated half the dropout at a single step. Not by redesigning the product - by fixing the specific thing that blocks the specific user at the specific moment.

We've audited activation funnels at dozens of B2B SaaS companies. Every single one had gaps worth more than the engagement fee. But if we don't find them - you pay nothing.
