Clarifying Questions (3 minutes)

• Looking at the timing, I'm thinking there might be seasonal factors at play. Has this 15% drop been compared to the same quarter last year?

Why it matters: Seasonal patterns could explain engagement fluctuations. Expected answer: Yes, it's been compared and the drop is still significant. Impact on approach: If seasonal, we'd focus on year-over-year trends rather than quarter-over-quarter.

• Considering user segments, I'm curious if this drop is uniform across all user groups. Have you noticed any particular demographic or user type more affected by this engagement decline?

Why it matters: Identifying specific affected groups could point to targeted issues. Expected answer: The drop is more pronounced in younger users aged 18-30. Impact on approach: We'd investigate factors specifically affecting younger users' engagement.

• Thinking about recent changes, have there been any significant updates to the Blended Care program in the last 3-6 months?

Why it matters: Recent changes could directly impact user engagement. Expected answer: A new user interface was rolled out 4 months ago. Impact on approach: We'd examine the correlation between the UI change and engagement drop.

• Regarding engagement definition, has there been any change in how member engagement is measured or tracked in the past quarter?

Why it matters: Changes in measurement could artificially show a drop in engagement. Expected answer: No changes in engagement measurement have been made. Impact on approach: We'd focus on actual engagement issues rather than measurement discrepancies.
