Scenario

You are the PM for Verity Insurance's core insurance product.

Weekly active teams has fallen 25% over the past 19 days. The drop appears concentrated in Android and is most pronounced in India.

Context that may or may not be relevant:

  • A redesigned onboarding flow shipped 21 days ago to 77% of users
  • Marketing paused a paid acquisition campaign 13 days ago
  • A competitor launched a free tier last month
  • The data team migrated the analytics pipeline 15 days ago

Your VP wants an answer by end of day and is already asking whether the redesign should be rolled back.

Your task

Diagnose the drop. Provide:

  1. Analysis — how you would structure the investigation and which hypotheses you would test in what order.
  2. Risks — of acting too early, and of acting too late.
  3. Recommendation — your diagnostic sequence and what you would tell the VP today.

Be specific about the data cuts you would pull.

Hint
Reveal suggested structure
  1. Is it real? Check instrumentation first — the pipeline migration is the cheapest hypothesis to eliminate and the most embarrassing to miss.
  2. Decompose the metric. For DAU: new + returning + resurrected − churned. Which component moved?
  3. Segment. Platform, region, cohort, acquisition channel, new vs existing users.
  4. Timeline. Does the drop align with a specific deploy, or is it gradual?
  5. Internal vs external. Internal changes are testable and reversible; external ones are not.
  6. Act on the evidence, with a rollback only if the evidence points there.
