The Problem

The High Cost of Untested Onboarding

The High Cost of Untested Onboarding

You spent the budget to acquire them. They signed up. And then they disappeared. The onboarding flow that's supposed to turn signups into active users was designed once, iterated rarely, and tested almost never. Every change is a live experiment on new customers who get one chance to see the value. If the first experience misses, most never come back.

Our Offering

Every activation decision, tested before it reaches a new user

Simulate these scenarios against synthetic versions of your new signups and see predicted activation outcomes before going live.

Onboarding Flow Design

First-Run Experience

First-Run Experience

Simulate how different first-session experiences affect whether new users reach their initial value moment or abandon before they start.

Welcome Sequences

Welcome Sequences

Test email, in-app, and push notification sequences to find the cadence and messaging that drives activation without overwhelming new users.

Feature Gating

Feature Gating

Simulate which features to expose upfront and which to gate behind milestones. Find the setup that accelerates time-to-value per segment.

Setup Completion

Setup Completion

Test how different levels of required setup affect completion rates. Simulate the tradeoff between configuration depth and activation speed.

The Steps

How it works

Four steps between identifying drop-off points and deploying an onboarding flow you trust.

Step 1

Step 1

Ingest activation signals

Connect your existing signup data, onboarding completion rates, feature adoption events, and engagement signals. Swivel builds synthetic representations of your new user segments from this data.

Step 2

Step 2

Define the scenario

Choose a scenario to test: a redesigned onboarding flow, a new welcome sequence, a feature gating strategy, a segment-specific first-run experience.

Step 3

Step 3

Simulate and validate

Swivel generates and tests activation strategies against your synthetic new users, then validates every recommendation through quantitative, financial, and brand-safety checks.

Step 4

Step 4

Deploy the validated flow

Receive a ranked activation playbook with predicted completion rates per segment, time-to-value projections, and grounded reasoning. Hand it off directly to your product or growth team.

Sample Output

What an activation simulation produces

Every simulation delivers a ranked playbook per segment with predicted activation rates and evidence behind each strategy.

The Difference

Retention without vs. with Swivel

Increase experimentation velocity while decreasing the risk to brand and cost of running live tests.

Without Swivel

✕ Onboarding redesigned once or twice a year at most


✕ Every change tested live on real new users


✕ Same onboarding flow for every segment regardless of needs


✕ Drop-off points identified after the damage is done


✕ Time-to-value unmeasured and unoptimized

WITH Swivel

✓ Hundreds of onboarding variations simulated per segment


✓ Validated flows before a single new user is exposed


✓ Segment-specific activation paths tailored to user type


✓ Drop-off risks surfaced in simulation, not in production


✓ Time-to-value optimized per segment before launch
