Optimize onboarding checklists to reduce friction and increase activation rates. Enter values for instant results with step-by-step formulas.
Formula
Revenue Uplift = (Signups × Improvement% × LTV)
This calculator models the onboarding funnel. It estimates 'Friction' based on time and step count. It then projects the revenue impact (Uplift) of increasing the checklist completion rate, assuming that completed users convert to the higher 'Activated LTV'.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long should an onboarding checklist be?
3-5 items is the sweet spot. Anything over 7 feels like work. If you have more, group them into chapters or reveal them progressively.
How do I measure Activation?
Activation is a custom metric (e.g., 'Sent 3 Messages'). Checklist completion is often a *proxy* for activation, but ensure the checklist items actually drive the core behavior.
