What is cohort analysis conceptually?

< 1 min read

Cohort analysis groups customers or users based on a common characteristic over a specific time period.
In one project, we grouped customers by their signup month to track retention behavior.
It helped identify how different customer batches performed over time.
We compared repeat purchase rates across cohorts to measure loyalty.
This analysis highlights trends like churn patterns or engagement drop-offs.
It separates time-based effects from overall performance metrics.
As a BA, I used it to support targeted marketing strategies.
Overall, cohort analysis helps understand behavior patterns across similar groups.
