I actually think it's the one that most often gets overlooked right because especially early stage companies you have a lot of product driven Founders they want to over deliver value for their customers... at some point you have to capture resources back from your best users.
Value capture is the most-overlooked step — product-focused founders must eventually monetize
Carter identifies value capture (trial start rate, trial conversion, pricing, plan mix, gross margin) as the underinvested step of the Subscription Value Loop. Product-minded founders default to shipping more features but skip optimizing the monetization funnel. The tool benchmarks all value-capture metrics against 30,000+ apps so founders can see exactly how their paywall and pricing stack up against peers.
a lot of people want to launch a premium product and I'm like no... prove to me there's going to be enough value and like there is another cohort here that isn't just like 1 or 2% that we're going to do a lot of work for maybe not a lot of return
Prove the premium cohort exists before building a premium tier
Adoption rates for premium tiers run in the low single digits unless the product already has a clear superfan segment. Michael's test: before building a high-touch tier, identify whether the cohort is large enough to justify the operational lift, or whether the same LTV can be captured more cheaply through IRL events, merch, or post-purchase upsells. Most teams launch premium tiers too early and should optimize the base product first.
There's a play for whatever you're stuck on.
