I built a demo to learn AARRR. Does it make sense?

I’m learning growth marketing, so I built a small interactive funnel demo to better understand AARRR.

Even if you’re not a marketer, it matters if you’re building and trying to grow something.

This is just a demo to get a feel for the metrics, not a real analytics tool. It works best if you pair it with your own reading.

  1. What confused you first?
  2. Would this help you think about your own project?

Yes—the AARRR demo works as an interactive funnel demo and would help me map a project; the first confusing point is the Retention section. “Better onboarding” and “Email reminders” show +25%/+15% activation, so it is unclear whether those switches change retention or activation. The Visitors → Signups → Active Users → Paid Users → Referrals flow makes bottlenecks visible as the switches change. I’d relabel those two effects and add one event definition per stage. That keeps it clearly a learning demo rather than a production analytics tool.
