AARRR / Pirate Metrics Framework
The foundational 5-stage lifecycle framework: Acquisition $\to$ Activation $\to$ Retention $\to$ Referral $\to$ Revenue
In Simple Words (Zero Jargon):
The 5 checkpoints of any business: How they find you (Acquisition) $\to$ First great experience (Activation) $\to$ Do they come back (Retention) $\to$ Do they tell friends (Referral) $\to$ Do they pay (Revenue).
Why It Is Critical
Pouring money into Acquisition when your Activation or Retention is broken simply leaks cash faster. AARRR identifies exactly which stage is the bottleneck.
What You Get: A clear diagnostic structure showing which stage of the customer journey deserves your next growth experiment.
