Identifies and frames your strongest traction signals for 2025-2026 investors — the metrics have changed completely and most founders are leading with the wrong data.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Traction Signal Analyzer

## Overview

The definition of "fundable traction" changed completely with the AI era. Pre-2022, seed traction meant revenue, DAUs, and month-over-month growth rate. In 2025-2026, those still matter, but they are no longer the primary signals.

The new hierarchy: **depth of engagement beats breadth of adoption**. Three users who cannot live without your product beats 300 users who think it is fine. An L-shaped retention curve beats a flat line with 50% more users.

Most founders are leading with the wrong metrics. This skill identifies your actual strongest signal and shows you how to frame it.

**STOPPING POINT 1 — What stage are you at?**

1. **Zero users** — I have not launched yet
2. **Early users, no revenue** — I have users engaging but have not charged anyone
3. **Revenue but small** — Under $5K MRR or early paying users
4. **Growing revenue** — $5K-50K MRR with some consistency
5. **Strong revenue** — $50K+ MRR with retention data
6. **Consumer product** — I am measuring engagement/retention rather than revenue

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vodouai/os/traction-signal-analyzer@sha256:8d170130f27ce001

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
