Cooper jumped from 20 → 60 in one week. That's real. Here's exactly where those 60 points come from and where the missing 40 lives.
| Area | Now | Needed | Severity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Onboarding experience | 3/10 | 9/10 | 🔴 Critical |
| Feature discovery | 2/10 | 8/10 | 🔴 Critical |
| Proactive behavior | 1/10 | 7/10 | 🔴 Critical |
| Retention mechanics | 2/10 | 7/10 | 🟡 High |
| RE vertical depth | 3/10 | 8/10 | 🟡 High |
| Memory quality/surfacing | 4/10 | 8/10 | 🔵 Medium |
"Cooper has the engine of an 80/100 product trapped inside a 60/100 experience. The features are ahead of the UX. The biggest wins are in packaging, discovery, and proactivity — not in building more features."
"The aha moment is when the AI does something the user didn't expect it could do, using information the user didn't explicitly provide in that session."

14 of your 17 registered users are inactive. They're not inactive because Cooper is bad — they're inactive because they never found out Cooper is good. The guided onboarding is the highest-impact change (affects 100% of new users), lowest-effort change (3-5 days, pure prompt/logic work), and the prerequisite for everything else. The first message a new user gets should NOT be "here's what I can do." It should be "let me show you." Then immediately do something impressive.
