Announce features contextually when users encounter the problem the feature solves. Track adoption by cohort and create nudge campaigns for non-adopters. Kill features below 5% adoption.
Ehsan's Analysis
The FinTech sector at Growth stage shows the widest dispersion I have seen across 500+ companies. This means the opportunity for competitive advantage is enormous. The winners are not doing anything exotic. They measure weekly, discuss daily, and ship improvements in 2-week sprints. The losers measure quarterly and wonder why nothing changes.
