# Amplitude Use Cases - What You Get, In Plain KPIs

Situation-by-situation use cases, each a discrete answer:

- [Know which feature actually drives retention](https://ampl.webclat.com/use-cases/know-which-feature-drives-retention): You compare users who adopted a specific feature against users who didn't, then track both groups' retention over time - the gap between the two curves is that feature's real contribution. It replaces the roadmap argument with a chart both sides can read the same way.
- [See the exact point where users drop off in onboarding, and fix it](https://ampl.webclat.com/use-cases/find-the-onboarding-drop-off-point): We instrument every onboarding step as a discrete event and lay them out as a funnel, so the step where users quit is a number you can point to, not a theory. Fixing that one step is almost always a better use of a sprint than redesigning the whole flow.
- [Get events your PMs trust enough to argue from](https://ampl.webclat.com/use-cases/events-your-pms-trust): We write a tracking plan that names every event once, in one convention, with an owner and the question it answers - so a PM pulling a chart can trust the number without re-checking with an engineer first. Most 'our numbers don't match' problems are a naming problem wearing a data problem's clothes.
- [See one funnel from ad click to activated user](https://ampl.webclat.com/use-cases/one-funnel-ad-click-to-activated-user): We connect the ad click, the signup event, and the in-product activation moment into a single funnel with one shared identity, so a campaign's real success is measured by activated users, not just clicks or signups counted separately. Marketing and product finally look at the same number.
- [Stop shipping blind - measure the launch in week one](https://ampl.webclat.com/use-cases/measure-the-launch-in-week-one): We define the one metric a launch needs to move and instrument the events behind it before the feature ships, so the first week produces a real answer instead of a shrug. Most 'we don't know if the launch worked' problems are actually 'we forgot to instrument it' problems.
- [Get product analytics without a data engineer on call](https://ampl.webclat.com/use-cases/product-analytics-without-a-data-engineer): A fixed-scope Amplitude setup with a documented tracking plan and simple governance rules can run without a dedicated data engineer, because the hard decisions get made once, up front, instead of needing a specialist to referee every new event forever. The ongoing cost is a PM or analyst following a written process, not a headcount line.
- [Build the tracking plan that survives your next redesign](https://ampl.webclat.com/use-cases/tracking-plan-that-survives-your-next-redesign): We name events after the user's intent, not the button or screen that triggered them, so a redesign changes the UI without breaking the historical data. A tracking plan built around 'what happened' instead of 'what it looked like' survives every reskin that follows it.
- [Connect Amplitude to revenue, not just clicks](https://ampl.webclat.com/use-cases/connect-amplitude-to-revenue): We attach actual revenue events - a subscription upgrade, a renewal, an order value - to the same user and session data as product usage, so a feature's impact shows up as a dollar figure instead of a clicks-and-engagement proxy. That's the difference between a chart a finance team nods at and one they push back on.
- [Get cohorts your lifecycle emails can actually use](https://ampl.webclat.com/use-cases/cohorts-your-lifecycle-emails-can-use): We build behavioral cohorts in Amplitude, based on what a user actually did in the product, and sync them to your lifecycle email or messaging tool so campaigns target real behavior instead of a stale CSV export. The cohort updates itself as behavior changes, so the send list is never a snapshot from three weeks ago.
- [Migrate to Amplitude without losing your history](https://ampl.webclat.com/use-cases/migrate-to-amplitude-without-losing-history): We map your existing platform's events and properties to Amplitude's schema and run both systems in parallel before cutover, so there's no gap where 'we don't know what happened last quarter' becomes the answer to every year-over-year question. History that was trustworthy before the migration stays trustworthy after it.
- [Stop shipping features nobody asked for because the roadmap said so](https://ampl.webclat.com/use-cases/stop-shipping-features-nobody-asked-for): We decompose your north star metric into the specific inputs a feature is supposed to move, and check the feature's expected impact against that tree before it ships - not after. A roadmap item earns its spot by tracing to a metric someone will actually check, not by being the idea that got the most nods in a meeting.
