Case studies

From experimentation noise → defensible strategy.

Two featured engagements: a subscription consumer platform that needed more out of the data they already had, and a global subscription media platform turning a 12-month growth analysis into an operating system.

Case 1 · context

Adasight × subscription consumer platform.

Data Analytics & Insight Enablement for Experimentation · March–April 2026

Context

Mature subscription platform with a steady A/B cadence. Tools were in place — event tracking, product analytics, warehouse, BI. They didn't need new infrastructure. They needed more out of the data they already had.

Duration8 weeks · fixed scope
ModelPartner-led + Adasight team
The challenge
  • 20+ hypotheses, no clear way to sequence them
  • Tests prioritised on intuition, not behaviour data
  • Junior analytics capacity bottlenecked every read-out
  • Some past "wins" suspected as false positives
Our approach · 4 workstreams
  • Discovery & alignment with the experimentation lead
  • End-to-end funnel & pathway diagnostics
  • Behavioural segmentation by 60-day & 180-day value
  • Cross-funnel synthesis: source → behaviour → retention
Headline findings
  • 2 structural drop-offs in the paywall flow, consistent across sources
  • Discount-exposed users convert higher but retain materially lower
  • 3 priority segments with interpretable high-LTV behaviours
  • 1 hidden high-LTV segment under-invested in by channel reporting
  • ~⅓ of backlog targets metrics weakly tied to long-term outcomes
  • 1 past "win" flagged as a likely false positive — re-test recommended

20+ → 7
Backlog → sequenced roadmap
3 waves
Experiments grouped by theme
< 1 wk
From handover → first test in design
What changed for the team
  • Hypotheses now reference behavioural signatures, not generic assumptions
  • Junior analytics redeployed from deep-dives to experiment instrumentation
  • "Stopped arguing whether a metric is right — started arguing what to do about it."
Deliverables
  • Deep-Dive Insight Pack (funnels · cohorts · cross-funnel)
  • Priority Segment Map — 3 segments, behavioural signatures
  • Experimentation Roadmap — 7 tests, 3 waves, primary + guardrail metrics
  • Past-Experiment Re-read — 1 confirmed, 1 flagged for re-test
  • Strategy session + 8 weekly Insight Checkpoints
Position at handover

"A defensible experimentation strategy grounded in user behaviour and long-term growth impact — not intuition, not surface metrics."

Case 2 · context

Adasight × global subscription media platform.

Subscriber growth analytics · 12-month engagement · client under NDA

Context

Phase 1 produced rigorous subscriber-base analysis across acquisition and retention. The work was sound — but it lived in decks. Leadership couldn't operate on it day-to-day, and the experimentation team had no shared measurement view to point experiments at.

The challenge
  • Findings rigorous but not operable — no shared dashboard layer
  • No common measurement surface across product, marketing, revenue
  • Experimentation team running tests without a feedback loop
  • Reporting overhead consuming analyst capacity
Our approach · two projects, one year
  • Executive Scorecard for leadership · monthly cadence
  • Operational Lifecycle Dashboard for product & experimentation · weekly
  • KPIs operationalised — same definitions across teams
  • Detect → Analyze → Test loop sitting on top of the dashboards
Case 2 · outcomes

From describing the subscriber base → deciding what to do about it.

What changed for the business
  • Leadership operates on the same dashboard the experimentation team points tests at
  • Decision cycle measured in days, not weeks of bespoke pulls
  • Acquisition-quality and churn signals surface before they hit revenue
  • Hypothesis backlog refreshed monthly against fresh data, not memory
Deliverables
  • Executive Scorecard — subscriber health, retention curves, acquisition quality, lifecycle signal
  • Operational Lifecycle Dashboard — engagement bucket transitions, behavioural depth, growth-loop monitoring
  • Version-controlled BigQuery data models & documentation
  • Prioritised hypothesis backlog (M0–M1 onboarding, pricing step-ups, personalised win-back, product-attachment prompts)
  • Expert-led experimentation webinars + handover
Position at handover

"We first understand how subscribers behave across entry points and over time.
Then we turn those insights into decisions."
