🚀

Anticipated questions and prepared responses

Q&A Preparation

Q: Why is D30 retention only 62% compared to competitors at 70%+?
A: Two factors: (1) 40% of users are casual trackers (1-2x/week) with lower habit formation, (2) goal-setting adoption is only 41%. Our data shows users with goals have 82% retention. Q1 roadmap directly addresses this with goal onboarding and smart notifications.
Q: How do you differentiate from Withings and Fitbit scales?
A: Price and simplicity. We're $79 vs Withings $149 and Fitbit $99. Our app focuses on actionable insights, not overwhelming data. We're positioning as "wellness for everyone" vs premium health tracking. Amazon reviews praise our ease of use (4.3★ vs competitors' 3.8★).
Q: What's driving the low Apple Health sync adoption (36%)?
A: Friction in iOS permissions flow (requires 4 taps) and unclear value proposition in onboarding. Users who enable sync have 2.1x Premium conversion and 74% retention. Solution: One-tap authorization redesign + show holistic wellness dashboard with activity/sleep data in onboarding.
Q: Is 27% Premium conversion sustainable as we scale?
A: Yes, with improvements. Competitors average 22-30% subscription conversion for connected devices. Our engaged users (38% of base) convert at 42%. By moving casual users to engaged tier and expanding Premium features, we can sustain 30-35% conversion at scale.
Q: How will new features impact hardware costs and margins?
A: Q1 roadmap is 100% software - no hardware changes. Our scale hardware is stable at $31 COGS with 61% margin. Future v2 hardware (2026 H2) may add BLE 5.2 for faster sync (+$3 COGS) but pricing stays at $79-89 to maintain competitiveness.
