What worked

UX
LinkedIn sign-in support reduces friction for new users during the onboarding flow.

What didn't

Social

Insufficient user volume prevents validation of the community feed and direct messaging utility.
New feature
no evidence
The global alumni map and opportunities board lack sufficient engagement data to assess impact on retention.

Marlvel takeaways

Monitor the adoption rate of the global alumni map to determine if visual network distribution drives repeat visits.
Track LinkedIn sign-in conversion rates to verify if onboarding completion improves compared to the previous manual registration process.
Analyze push notification opt-in rates to ensure the new activity alerts do not trigger high uninstall rates.
