Benchmarks
plannedKnow whether your D1 retention is good, which only means something compared with islands in the same genre.
What this tool would do
- Medians and quartiles by genre on D1 and D7 retention, minutes per player and plays.
- Where your island sits in the distribution, not an absolute score out of nowhere.
- How the genre median moves over time, to tell your drop apart from a general one.
- Sample size shown on every median, because a median over twelve islands is worth nothing.
What it needs to exist
- The Archive tool, over an island population large enough for the medians to hold.
- Each island's declared genre, the only field that decides eligibility for Discover rows.
Why nobody does it today
Current tools show your number alone. But 22 percent D1 retention can be excellent in one genre and mediocre in another. Without a large population and history, the comparison is impossible, which is why nobody offers it.
