Ah, so basically the GP is saying "your users should be sticking around"?

At some point, no more users should leave. For example after registration week 1, retain 60%, week 2 30%, week 3 10%, week 4 1%, week 5 0.1%. In that case, you don't have PMF. Unfortunately my numbers look a lot like this :,(

But assume week 4 has 10% and week 5 has 10%, that curve flattened out at 10%, and so you have product market fit.

Fortunately you have a mathematical equation at your disposal that helps tell you this so that you can feel confident in trying something different and seeing how that effects PMF
