David noticed: active usage must mean meaningful work
for Kerra analytics, a user being present is less important than whether they actually studied or worked.
Kerra analytics are not just vanity counts. David asks about returners, daily active users, document time, workspace use, messages sent to Kerra, edited documents, and whether the product helped the student complete real work.
that is why David pushes on definitions like active user, returner, boundary bias, and cohort windows. if the metric can be inflated by a login or a background event, it is not the metric David wants.
i want returner data
what percentage of daily users are active
the useful question is not "did someone touch Kerra?" it is "did Kerra become part of a meaningful study session?"
