Problem
## Sound familiar?
- 01 Activation is defined three ways across three dashboards.
- 02 Product events and Stripe revenue live in separate tools that never agree.
- 03 A question about trial drop-off waits a week in the data team's queue.
Features
## What changes with Silicon
01
### Ask about retention and activation
Ask "What is day-30 retention by signup source?" in Slack and get a chart with the definition it used.
AI analyst -> 02
### Product metrics tied to revenue
Activation, retention and churn are defined once, next to MRR, so a cohort chart and the board deck count the same customers.
Semantic layer -> 03
### Funnels on your own data
Build a funnel from signup to paid on the events in your warehouse and share it as a dashboard or a weekly report.

FAQ
## Questions, answered
### Does Silicon connect to Segment, PostHog or GA4? +
Not directly. Event data from tools like Segment, PostHog or GA4 works once it lands in your warehouse, and Silicon reads it from there alongside your billing and CRM data.
### Does this replace Amplitude or Mixpanel? +
It depends on how you use them. Silicon is built for product metrics that need to match revenue and other company numbers. Session-level tools like Amplitude and Mixpanel are built for exploring raw event streams, and many teams run both.
### Can we build funnels? +
Yes. Silicon has a funnel chart that runs on the event tables in your warehouse.
### We don't have a data team. Can we still use Silicon? +
Yes. When we partner with you, we get your product events and billing data into one place and define activation, retention and churn with you.
