AARRR is a five-stage funnel framework for diagnosing where a product is losing users and revenue. Each stage maps to a measurable rate. Fix the worst-leaking stage first — patching acquisition while retention is broken is pouring water into a cracked bucket.
[Acquisition]
| % who visit / sign up
v
[Activation]
| % who reach first value moment
v
[Retention]
| % who come back
v
[Referral]
| % who invite others
v
[Revenue]
| % who pay / expand
v
GROWTH
How do users find you? Channels: SEO, paid ads, social, content, outbound, partnerships.
Do users experience the core value before they leave? This is the "aha moment" — the first action that predicts long-term retention.
Do users come back? This is the most important stage — without it, every other investment leaks.
Do users bring others? Referral is the multiplier on every other stage.
Do users pay, and do they expand? Revenue validates that value is real.
Before analyzing anything, confirm you can measure each funnel step. Map one primary metric per stage. If you cannot measure it today, define the event and build the tracking first.
Pull the last 30–90 days of data. Fill in the conversion rate between each stage. Use cohort data for retention, not averages.
| Stage | Volume | Conversion to next stage |
|---|---|---|
| Acquisition | 10,000 / mo | 30% → Activation |
| Activation | 3,000 / mo | 40% → Retention (D30) |
| Retention | 1,200 / mo | 15% → Referral |
| Referral | 180 / mo | — |
| Revenue | 600 / mo | ARPU $45 |
Find the stage with the worst conversion rate relative to industry benchmarks or your own historical trend. This is where to focus next. Do not work on Referral if Activation is below 20%.
State the problem, the root cause, and the proposed fix as a testable experiment. Example: "Activation is 18% because users never reach the dashboard — add a guided setup checklist to increase it to 30% in 4 weeks."
Ship the fix, measure the specific stage metric (not a vanity metric), and re-check the full funnel. Repeat the leak-finding step quarterly or after any major product change.

Status key: R = needs urgent attention · Y = watch closely · G = on track. The funnel shape block makes the biggest drop-off visible at a glance — the stage immediately below the widest gap is your highest-leverage fix. The side-by-side boxes at the bottom keep diagnosis and action together so the audit ends with a clear owner and deadline.
