The goal: To ensure the long-term health of Igrovary, I designed a Validation Framework ahead of launch. This dashboard represents the specific data points I intend to track to validate my design hypotheses and identify friction points in real-time.

I plan to track the Time-to-Value (TTV)—the speed at which a newcomer reaches their first "Success Moment" (e.g., publishing a project or joining a team).

The Signal: TTV curve growth is stagnant or below the 80% benchmark within the first 24h.

The Hypothesis: Users are getting stuck at the "Step 3 (Link Upload)" stage of the Wizard, causing them to drop off before reaching the "Success Moment."

The Pivot: Execute a targeted audit of Wizard Step 3. If friction is confirmed, I will implement asynchronous editing, allowing users to publish a project stub and add high-res assets later.

The "Add Project" Wizard Health
Step-by-step drop-off rates
Just like "no credits" stops a conversion, "missing assets" (like gallery images) can kill a project submission. If Step 3 has high friction, I will implement asynchronous editing, allowing users to publish a "stub" and add media later.
Dashboard Efficiency (Direct-to-Goal)
Click-through rate (CTR) on action buttons
Do users find their path immediately? I will monitor the Search-to-Contact ratio. If users search for teams but don't reach out, it signals a lack of "Trigger Information" in the project previews.
Learning Retention (Content Chunking)
Completion rates per module.
To prevent cognitive overload, I used Modular Content Chunking. I plan to monitor where learners stop; if they drop off mid-module, I will further atomize the content or simplify the UI hierarchy.
