If people can use your product before signing up, how do you attribute the signup?

Attribution problem I haven't solved, for anyone running a try-before-signup flow.

Last week I took the account requirement off the front of my product. You can now use the main thing without signing up; the account is only needed to export what you made. It was clearly right for the product nobody understood it from a description, and they understood it immediately once they'd used it on something of their own.

My measurement fell apart the same week.

  • Top of funnel widened, conversion rate collapsed, and neither number is comparable to the month before. I don't have a trend line any more, I have two unrelated datasets.

  • The compute is real, and it's spent on people I can't identify, can't email and can't count. Costs moved before any of the good numbers did.

  • Worst one: somebody tries it anonymously, leaves, comes back four days later and signs up. In analytics that's a cold direct signup. Whatever actually did the work gets credited with nothing.

space ocr update #2

It was a week of refactoring: one response shape across every surface, the structure behind it pulled into one place, and the bugs that turned up while I was in there.

The shape. /ocr/fields, /ocr/markdown and /ocr/text now return the same four keys. values is your data, exactly the schema you asked for and nothing else. cells is a flat map keyed by path, one entry per value, carrying box and quad (both always present, normalized 0 1000), verified, review, and the raw evidence behind that verdict. review is the summary: declared, returned, boxed, verified, flagged[], by_reason. image is the source size, for turning the normalized boxes back into pixels. Full shape with a worked example: https://space-ocr.com/docs#post-...
