Tie a streak to the smallest genuinely-meaningful action, not the easiest possible tap.

Add flexibility so users don't break a streak — but appoint someone to guard it from being cheapened.

Comprehensibility is a retention lever — make the design a plain distillation of what you're tracking.

Give teams a metric to move, not a feature to own — anyone can touch any surface that helps their number.

Trigger reminders off what users actually did, not what they said they'd do — 23.5 hours after last use.

Ship the barest encapsulation of a hypothesis, confirm it has legs, then beat the heck out of it.

Concentrate experiments and flexibility on the first 7 days, where loss aversion actually locks in.

Users care about a feature in proportion to how much the product visibly cares about it.
