×
A marketing technology powerhouse used ClarityQ's AI-powered analytics to diagnose critical issues in minutes instead of days - and uncover hidden truths about user quality that transformed their growth strategy.
"This analysis was absolutely brilliant. The way ClarityQ approached the problem would have taken me a day or two to figure out on my own. We solved it in half an hour - it was simply perfect."
Omada, a marketing technology powerhouse, needed to move faster than their analytics capabilities allowed. When a critical conversion bug hit, they couldn't find it. When an onboarding experiment underperformed, they couldn't explain why. With ClarityQ's AI-powered behavioral analytics, they went from guessing to knowing - diagnosing a revenue-killing bug in 30 minutes and uncovering counterintuitive user insights that drove a sustained 45% retention lift.
Diagnosing an 85% Conversion Drop in 30 Minutes
How ClarityQ identified and resolved a revenue-killing bug that would have taken days to diagnose manually
The Challenge
Omada's product team noticed a sudden and dramatic 85% drop in user intent conversions on a critical page where users typically clicked through to engage with offers. Despite the severity of the issue, manual testing revealed no visible problems - the page appeared to function perfectly when the team tested it themselves.
Revenue was being lost by the hour, but traditional debugging methods weren't revealing the root cause. Without clear visibility into what was actually happening with real user sessions, they risked spending days analyzing code, user flows, and infrastructure while the problem persisted.
What ClarityQ Found
Rather than requiring extensive technical documentation or detailed reproduction steps, the Omada team simply described the anomaly they were observing. Within minutes, ClarityQ's AI-powered analytics identified a critical pattern that human analysis had missed:
Unusual Routing
100% of affected users were landing directly on the problematic page, bypassing the normal homepage entry point
Broken Action
These users were unable to complete the coupon click action, despite the interface appearing fully functional
Root Cause
A bug prevented users arriving via direct links from clicking coupon buttons - invisible in normal manual testing
Results
"This analysis was absolutely brilliant. The way ClarityQ approached the problem would have taken me a day or two to figure out on my own. We solved it in half an hour - it was simply perfect. I fell in love with it, honestly."
How a "Successful" Onboarding Was Secretly Killing Growth
Data-driven insights revealed a counterintuitive truth about user quality and onboarding friction
The Challenge
In February 2025, Omada launched a new onboarding experience designed to showcase their loyalty program benefits - including rewards, gamification features like "spin the wheel," and exclusive member perks. The goal was to educate new users about the platform's value proposition and drive higher-quality registrations.
The team anticipated a 25% drop in overall acquisition due to added friction, but expected the tradeoff would be worthwhile: users who completed onboarding would be more engaged and valuable over time. Instead, over the following months, they observed declining user quality metrics and retention rates. Something wasn't working - but they couldn't pinpoint what.
What ClarityQ Revealed
ClarityQ's analysis uncovered a counterintuitive truth that surface-level analytics had completely hidden:
- ✕Users engaging only with free, zero-value actions
- ✕Spinning the wheel for free rewards, never purchasing
- ✕Churning immediately after extracting free value
- ✕Costing acquisition fees without generating revenue
- ✓High-intent users who would have engaged organically
- ✓Users ready to shop and redeem coupons immediately
- ✓Long-term valuable customers scared by registration walls
- ✓The exact users the business needed most
The Decision
Based on ClarityQ's analysis, Omada made a bold call: remove the mandatory onboarding entirely and return to a frictionless entry point. Instead, they implemented a post-onboarding engagement strategy that introduced loyalty features after users had already experienced core value.
The Results: Compounding Retention Gains
"I don't think I could have done this kind of analysis without a BI analyst on the team. It would have taken me weeks or months to figure this out on my own - and by then, we would have wasted so much money on user acquisition. I credit this entirely to ClarityQ."
Beyond the Platform: A Team That Operates Differently
"I've worked with many vendors across AI and non-AI services. I've never experienced anything like ClarityQ's team. I can ask a question in chat - before I've even finished typing - and someone from the team jumps in with creative solutions and alternative approaches. I don't have to chase anyone down or schedule follow-ups. It's simply amazing, and I genuinely love working with them."
