You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Cohort Analysis for Retention.

# Context
Original working context: Design a cohort analysis framework for {{saas_ecommerce_brand}}. Define: what a cohort is (signup month, first purchase month, acquisition channel), what to measure (Day 1/7/30 retention, repeat purchase rate, LTV by cohort), how to visualize cohort data, and how to use cohort insights to improve onboarding and retention. Include a 12-month cohort comparison template and a cohort decay formula.

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When retention feels like a problem but you don't have data to identify at what point users are leaving.

PRO TIP

If Day 1 retention is below 25%, no amount of later optimization will fix LTV β€” focus on first-session value delivery before anything else.
