The answer was B. Tobi picked one number: how much users save each month. Only one request moved it: round up purchases and save the change. Shipped in 3 weeks. Savings went up. Say no to most ideas. Build what moves your main number. EP 09 next: The Fog of Guessing.

This is so interesting , I have been enjoying this since 😆😆😆😆 Here is my empire : play.unwrittenempires.com/em…
I've always loved strategy games, so about a month ago, I decided to start building one of my own. Seeing all the games being shared here, I thought I'd share mine too. It's called Unwritten Empires, and it's finally playable on mobile and PC! Would love to hear what you think. play.unwrittenempires.com/

₦4,000 to get one user. ₦2,500 earned per user. EP 02: The CAC Dragon 🐉 what would you do? #GrowthQuest #CAC #GrowthMarketing #StartupLessons #ProductGrowth

the answer: B Tobi watched 5 people sign up. 4 quit on screen 2 because the app asked for their ID before they'd even seen it. more ads would've just poured more users into a leaking bucket. EP 02: The CAC Dragon, Wednesday. follow so you don't miss it

A company added me to a WhatsApp group after a free masterclass. I trusted it. The masterclasses ended. The group got locked. Only admins post now. I haven't opened it in weeks. That's the problem with growth, in one dead group chat: everyone hit their signup number. Nobody figured out why anyone would stay. So I designed a strategy to grow a WhatsApp community without repeating that: → Track the % of people who meant to join, not total signups. One filter question before the link unlocks. → Tease, don't teach. Noon: "today's one is for the SQL nerds." 8pm: the real challenge, first 10 correct answers win. → Reward with a named badge worth sharing, not praise. → Watch one number: is last week's best contributor still here? If they go quiet, message them directly. Full strategy + funnel: lydian-quail-3b1.notion.site… What would you have built differently? #GrowthStrategy #CommunityBuilding #ProductGrowth #BuildInPublic @_realabd @dabsclement @clintonufere @developerBolu

A founder once asked me: "How do I know I'm building something the market wants?" My answer: stop guessing, start collecting evidence. Interviews. Behaviour. Willingness to pay. The same question shows up after you ship: "Did this feature actually work?" Most teams still answer with a guess. @_realabd @dabsclement @clintonufere @mixpanel @Amplitude_HQ

Every time my team shipped a feature, the same question came up: "Did this actually work?" Not "did users click it?" Did it reduce churn? Lift activation? Move a real KPI? So I built a tool to answer it. It's called Metrik 🧵

After launch: → Impact measured automatically → See if the feature actually moved the needle → Stakeholder-ready reports backed by real data No vanity metrics. No guessing. No "I think it worked."

I'm opening a small beta for PMs, founders, designers, engineers & growth teams. Want in? Try it here: metrik-tool.vercel.app Shoutout to @_realabd and @dabsclement 🙌 If your team has ever asked "did that feature even work?", a repost helps this reach them 🙏
