New users do not know how much they need to use a product before it pays off. Zumba found people who reach three classes are much more likely to stay (Zumba).

Overview
Find how much use goes with people staying, then show it to them: a counter on the home screen, a default goal set to that number in onboarding, and reminders until they reach it. Zumba does this for three classes.
Fits when
- Products with a countable unit of use: classes, workouts, lessons, projects
- Teams with enough usage data to see where retention changes
- Onboarding that already asks people to set a goal

Good to knowFit and evidence notes
- Fit to consider
- With no users yet there is no threshold to find; a borrowed number is a guess
- About the evidence
- The threshold comes from comparing users who reached three classes with users who did not; that shows who stays, not that steering people to three causes it.
Copy includes 2 more limitations, 3 failure modes, the full evidence, and adaptation guidance.
