Glossary term
Retention cohort
A retention cohort groups users by when they started and measures how many return or remain active over time.
Why it matters
Retention reveals whether a product creates repeat value after the first session.
Example
Users who signed up in week one may have 42% week-four retention, while week-two users may have 31%, suggesting an onboarding or acquisition-quality change.
