Onboarding Drop-off Analysis for Mobile Apps

The highest-impact onboarding optimization comes from fixing one major bottleneck first. Measure each step, rank leaks by lost users, and ship one focused change per cycle.

Recommended process

1. Define one activation milestone.
2. Measure completion and drop-off per onboarding step.
3. Segment by source, platform, and locale.
4. Prioritize the step with the largest absolute loss.
