AARRR Funnel (Pirate Metrics)

Funnel Tanimlari

Acquisition  --> Activation  --> Retention  --> Revenue  --> Referral
(Edinme)        (Aktiflesme)    (Tutunma)     (Gelir)      (Yonlendirme)

Stage	Tanim	Ornek Metrik	Hedef
Acquisition	Kullanici siteye geldi	Unique visitors, signup rate	%3-5 signup
Activation	"Aha moment" yasandi	Onboarding completion, first value	%40-60 activation
Retention	Geri geldi	D1/D7/D30 retention	D7 > %20
Revenue	Para odedi	Conversion to paid, ARPU	%2-5 conversion
Referral	Baskasini getirdi	Invite sent, viral coefficient	K > 0.5
