Neuro-inclusive product metrics
Standard SaaS metrics like Daily Active Users (DAU) or unbroken streaks must be avoided — they encourage the exact shame spiral Kon is designed to prevent. Track these instead:
| Metric | What it measures | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Time-to-capture | Seconds from app open to completed brain dump | Measures friction. If this exceeds 10 seconds, the thought is gone. The lower this number, the better Kon serves its core purpose. |
| Grace day recovery rate | % of users who return and complete a task after 1+ days of inactivity | Proves Kon has beaten the abandon-shame cycle. This is the single most important product metric. If users come back after missing days without guilt, the design is working. |
| Micro-step completion rate | Completion rate of AI-decomposed tasks vs. manually entered abstract tasks | Validates that micro-stepping actually works. If AI-generated steps have higher completion rates than user-entered tasks, the feature is earning its keep. |
| Brain dump → task conversion | % of voice transcription content that converts into actionable tasks | Measures AI quality. Low conversion means the AI isn't parsing well; high conversion means the core loop works. |
| Return after lapse | Median days between last session and next session for users who go inactive | Measures stickiness without punishing breaks. A user who returns after 2 weeks is a success, not a failure. |
