A fantastic list, each of which has a huge amount of depth behind them.

Love how this naturally dovetailed into why product analytics matter - nice sales plug, even if unintentional.

I’ve only just started on PostHog via Lenny’s product pass. Curious if it can also build in the AI model metrics tracking that I’ve had to custom create (and debug) now that more products leverage AI.

Wrt this: “Check that ICP users retain better than non-ICP ones and that your paying customers are part of that ICP.”

But what if you’re missing a potential customer segment that is a surprising fit?

1. Yup, we have LLM analytics you can use: https://posthog.com/llm-analytics

2. We see forming an ICP as part of the process for checking product-market fit. There are likely other groups that could be a fit, but having at least one (ICP) is a positive PMF signal.

I am starting to think that building products customers actually want is kind of important.
