PMF
Product-Market Fit — the stage where a product reliably satisfies strong market demand.
Why it matters
Business and delivery impact.
Before PMF, speed of iteration matters more than polish; after PMF, consistency and scale matter more.
How to measure
Proof you can track.
Retention curves, Sean Ellis survey score and organic growth rate.
Example
What it looks like in practice.
A startup pivoting its UI three times before finding the workflow that drives daily active usage above 40 percent retention.
