i mean, you might care if the investors you’re trying to woo for that bridge round figure out your churn is a lot higher than you’re willing to admit… or worse,

  How is a monotonically incrementing integer going to reveal churn or traction? You’re not reusing IDs.

    Sign up for two accounts over the space of, say, a month. See how big the delta is between the account IDs. That gives you potential traction. If you have access to revenue data (every investor is going to want this first thing), that gives you rough churn too. Do the same for creating users, if you can see user Id’s.

  So I should introduce complexity in my application so in the future it might help me dupe potential investors if my startup is not going well? That’s a whole new take on pre-mature optimization. I’d rather not dupe investors, and would rather not introduce unnecessary complexity, instead I’d rather focus on actually delivering value so investors actually want to invest.
