Major props for this Jacob!

Of course everybody knows Noom and its onboarding, but it keeps evolving and you've done quite the analysis.

What stood out the most to me:

- You'd think asking for people's health insurance goes one step too far, but they frame it as a potential benefit.

- I like the behavioral profile quiz to give value during the onboarding! Can a version of this be found for each product?

- The accountability buddy during onboarding is smart. It's hard to make a referral program really impactful (I've always read about 10/15% uplift at the very best), but doing it so early definitely increases the potential impact.

Thanks, Sylvain!

I love the quiz too. I'm already thinking how I can try to use that somewhere else. Paired has a quiz in their flow (slightly different execution) and I bet that gets people engaged: https://whimsical.com/paired-KTTJWNaTnrHyS7MBFhn9rZ

"It's hard to make a referral program really impactful (I've always read about 10/15% uplift at the very best)" - And yup, I think the golden days of referral programs are over, but I bet a couple percent more incremental impact of the referral program for Noom = $millions
