A focused 9-month roadmap in four phases: MVP, Engagement, Community, Monetization. Each phase is intentional—core habits first, then daily use, then virality, then revenue—ensuring retention and trust before growth monetization.
| Phase | Timeline | Strategic Goal | Success Signal |
|---|---|---|---|
| MVP | Months 1–2 | Ship a lovable core product | 1,000 DAU by month 3, Day-7 retention ≥40% |
| Engagement | Months 3–4 | Drive daily habit formation | Day-30 retention ≥20%, Habit completion ≥60% |
| Community | Months 5–6 | Build accountability & word-of-mouth | 25%+ MAU in challenges, referral installs |
| Monetization | Months 7–9 | Monetize without breaking trust | ≥15% hybrid conversion, $5K MRR |
Goal: Launch a delightful, usable core product.
Goal: Develop sticky, daily product usage.
Goal: Drive viral growth and build accountability loops.
