This one requires you to actually understand what Hot Home is trying to do before you can define success.
Start by clarifying the feature's goal and the company's north star metric, then define success across the full user journey—from discovery to offer and closing. Use a mix of engagement, conversion, and business metrics, and validate with A/B tests to isolate the feature's impact.
Pro tip: Tie every metric back to Redfin's core business model—more home tours and transactions—and acknowledge potential trade-offs like increased agent workload or low-quality leads.
Ask questions to understand what 'Hot Home' means (e.g., a badge for homes likely to sell fast) and its primary objective, such as increasing buyer engagement or seller listings.
Identify the ultimate success metric (e.g., homes sold or revenue) and guardrails to ensure no negative side effects (e.g., agent satisfaction or lead quality).
Break down the funnel: awareness (views, impressions), consideration (saves, shares, tour requests), conversion (offers, sales), and retention (repeat usage).
Propose a controlled experiment with a holdout group to measure incremental lift, ensuring statistical significance and accounting for seasonality.
Set up dashboards to track metrics over time, segment by user type, and be ready to adjust the feature based on data.
