Cartography for living products

Most teams collect more App Analytics than they can read. We teach the slower work: naming events that survive a redesign, drawing funnels that match how people actually move, and sitting with a retention curve until it stops flattering you.

“I arrived able to export a funnel. I left able to argue, calmly, that the funnel was the wrong shape for the product we actually ship.”

Programmes

Three rooms, one craft

Each sitting is small. We do not tour every vendor screen. We work on the measurement problems you already have, using App Analytics as the shared language.

How the room works

We teach reading before we teach tooling

App Analytics is easy to install and hard to trust. A new property appears, an old event is quietly renamed, and six months later nobody can reconstruct why checkout “dropped.” Our pedagogy starts with the sentence you should be able to say about a user, then works backwards to the event.

Students bring a live product — or a public app they know well — and rebuild a slice of its map. We mark work in conversation, not with a quiz bank. The United Kingdom cohort meets in Bearley twice a year; the rest of the sitting is remote and asynchronous.

Write to the studio

Tell us the product you measure and the question you cannot yet answer. We reply within two working days, usually with a reading list rather than a pitch.
