Cohorts stop mature players from masking new ones

Group users by first-FTD week and compare NGR at the same age: D7, D30 and D60. Otherwise a January cohort with two months of history will automatically look stronger than a March cohort that has existed for two weeks.

For RevShare, the maturation curve matters more than the absolute revenue of an old group. A consistently weaker D30 can justify action long before D90 arrives.

Control fields: Cohort Analysis for RevShare Traffic

  • cohort size
  • NGR at a fixed age
  • retention/redeposit rate
  • acquisition cost per cohort

Confidence boundary for Cohort Analysis for RevShare Traffic

The review is anchored in one concrete situation: Group users by first-FTD week and compare NGR at the same age: D7, D30 and D60. Otherwise a January cohort with two months of history will automatically look stronger than a March cohort that has existed for two weeks.

Control fieldWhy it matters
cohort sizetests whether two reports are comparable
NGR at a fixed agecan change the financial interpretation
retention/redeposit rateshows whether the conclusion is reproducible
acquisition cost per cohortseparates a real signal from an in-process status

For RevShare, the maturation curve matters more than the absolute revenue of an old group. A consistently weaker D30 can justify action long before D90 arrives.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which fields should the review of “Cohort Analysis for RevShare Traffic” start with?

Retain cohort size, NGR at a fixed age, retention/redeposit rate and acquisition cost per cohort. Those fields let a second reviewer reproduce the technical or financial conclusion without verbal context.

What can materially change the decision in “Cohort Analysis for RevShare Traffic”?

For RevShare, the maturation curve matters more than the absolute revenue of an old group. A consistently weaker D30 can justify action long before D90 arrives.

How should a data discrepancy in “Cohort Analysis for RevShare Traffic” be isolated?

Compare “cohort size” with “NGR at a fixed age” first, then validate “retention/redeposit rate” and “acquisition cost per cohort”. Do not change spend or integration logic until the source of the mismatch is understood.
