When people stop using your product, it's like they're telling you something, and you need to listen closely. The main signals to watch for are how often they come back and what they actually *do* when they're there. If people try your product once or twice and then disappear completely, that's a big hint it might not be useful enough for them, or it doesn't solve a real problem.

Conduct exit interviews or 'lost user' surveys, specifically asking what problem the product *
