I'd love to see someone build in cycle plots in to this tool.
My real frustration with Cohort analyses is that the results are always presented in this arcane format that doesn't actually answer any questions.
The question a cohort analysis is supposed to answer is "Is our retention improving" and to get that answer you're supposed eyeball rows & columns of text and make inferences (and then go ahead and speculate some actions).
Here's a better way: http://insideintercom.io/retention-cohorts-and-visualisations/ http://insideintercom.io/retention-cohorts-and-visualisation...

- bslatkin 14y agoI agree that the common presentation of cohort data is clunky. That's why I built this tool with d3js to visualize cohorts as stacked bars: http://bslatkin.github.com/cohorts/ http://bslatkin.github.com/cohorts/ "Impact maps" are too blurry in my experience; they assume your traffic is normal and predictable. Cycle plots are fun to look at, but in practice the lines are too volatile to make a pretty chart.
