Time to Value (TTV)

The elapsed time between a user signing up and experiencing the product's core value for the first time.

Why it matters

Shorter TTV strongly correlates with higher activation and retention, because attention and motivation decay quickly after signup.

Example

A design tool reduces TTV from 20 minutes to 90 seconds by replacing a blank canvas with pre-filled templates.
