- Make it someone’s fulltime job. A PM, engineer, or marketer who really understands your customer and who is focused on getting shit done is the right person. This person has to have a high degree of trust from leadership.

- Develop your first hypothesis around what drives adoption/activation, and use the process of building & testing that to develop your first basic tooling.
- Embrace the fact that 9 out 10 experiments will fail and build a culture out of learning.
Creating multiple teams with different incentives and ensuring an unhappy chaos.
