First, a familiar story...

Conveying analysis is rarely straightforward

Too many charts and data points are confusing

Explaining your method in detail often loses your

audience

Walking Through an ExampleFrom this preliminary analysis, we can draw the following conclusions:

The mean ranges from 80 days to 110 days for the oldest cohorts.

Most cohorts, even the older ones, have recovered at least 80% of users who have made a purchase to date by six months; by a year, this climbs to 90% for most cohorts.

A small number of registered users from older cohorts are making a first purchase more than a year after registration.

The majority of buyers purchase on the same day of registration.

After a year, approximately 4% to 7% (depending on the quarterly cohort) of registered users for that cohort have made a purchase.

From this preliminary analysis, we can conclude that:

For older groups of buyers, the average number of days to purchase ranges from 80 to 110.

Most buyers purchase on the same day of registration.

The average number of days to buy is slightly longer than average number of days to list.
