Superhuman's founder reported that the share of users who would be very disappointed without the product started at 22%. After the team focused on the users who loved it, the score rose to 33%, and later quarterly rounds took it to 47%, 56% and 58%. The chart is useful for founders deciding whose words and needs should shape their product and homepage. It shows what segmenting your best users can do before you change anything else.
