Flagship course

Cohort Signal Lab

Six weeks of guided App Analytics practice for product managers, analysts, and growth partners who already ship — and want telemetry they can defend.

Learning outcomes

  • Design an event taxonomy with clear ownership and versioning rules.
  • Diagnose funnel leakage without inventing false precision.
  • Build retention and cohort narratives that separate product habit from acquisition mix.
  • Run a one-hour weekly signal review that produces logged decisions.
  • Brief stakeholders with confidence ranges instead of theatrical certainty.

Who it suits

Teams with at least one live product surface and an analytics tool already in place. Absolute beginners in statistics will need extra reading; we do not teach SQL from zero.

Modules

Each week ends with a critique session and an artefact check.

01

Instrumentation archaeology

Inventory existing events, spot duplicates, and draft a retirement list with engineering allies.

02

Taxonomy that survives release pressure

Naming patterns, property contracts, and how to reject “just add one more event” tickets.

03

Funnels without vanity overlays

Define step honesty, handle optional paths, and present incomplete journeys without apology theatre.

04

Cohorts & retention storytelling

Read curves for habit formation, seasonality, and platform shifts — then write the narrative.

05

Experiment readouts in practice

Primary vs secondary metrics, peeking habits, and documenting inconclusive results as progress.

06

Operating cadence & handoff

Install the weekly ritual, assign owners, and package a 90-day improvement backlog.

FAQ

Do you teach a specific analytics vendor?

No. Examples reference common patterns across Amplitude, Mixpanel, and GA4, but the coursework is tool-agnostic. Bring the platform you already pay for.

What is a real limitation of this course?

We do not cover advanced causal inference or warehouse modelling. If your bottleneck is dbt pipelines or econometrics, this studio will feel too product-facing — and that is intentional.

How much time should I reserve weekly?

Plan for two live sessions (90 minutes each) plus three to five hours of applied work on your own product data.

Can engineering partners join?

Yes. Mixed product–engineering pairs usually finish taxonomy modules faster and with fewer rework cycles.

Learner notes

“Module 4 forced us to admit our D7 spike was a marketing calendar artefact. Awkward in the room — useful on the roadmap.”

Jonas Reed · Growth · Leeds

“Clear templates. I still struggle with executive briefings, so I paired this with Stakeholder Signal Briefings afterward.”
