• Analytics & Insights – Perform rigorous cohort analysis, LTV/CAC modeling, and churn analysis. Identify behavioral patterns that predict conversion and retention
• Experimentation – Design and run A/B tests on paywall timing, pricing, messaging, UI/UX. Build a culture of rapid experimentation and learning
