Step 1

Clarifying Questions (3 minutes)

  • Given the timing, I'm wondering if there have been any recent changes to the onboarding process. Have we implemented any new KYC (Know Your Customer) or AML (Anti-Money Laundering) procedures in the last quarter?

Why it matters: Changes in onboarding could directly impact sign-up rates. Expected answer: Yes, we've implemented stricter KYC procedures. Impact on approach: If confirmed, we'd focus on optimizing the new KYC process.

  • Considering market volatility, has there been a significant change in cryptocurrency prices or trading volume during this period?

Why it matters: Market conditions often influence user interest in crypto platforms. Expected answer: Bitcoin price dropped by 30% this quarter. Impact on approach: We'd need to consider market sentiment in our analysis and potentially adjust our marketing strategy.

  • I'm curious about our marketing efforts. Have we made any changes to our user acquisition channels or spend in the last quarter?

Why it matters: Changes in marketing could directly affect new user sign-ups. Expected answer: Marketing budget was reduced by 40%. Impact on approach: We'd need to evaluate the ROI of different marketing channels and potentially reallocate resources.

  • Regarding user experience, have we received any feedback or noticed an increase in drop-off rates at specific points in the sign-up funnel?

Why it matters: User experience issues could be deterring potential new users. Expected answer: Drop-off rates increased at the email verification step. Impact on approach: We'd focus on optimizing the identified pain points in the sign-up process.
