Your product-market fit score, and who it’s for.

Four questions to the people who really use it.

Download RiverHow to start

How it works.

River sends the four-question survey from you to your active users, collects the answers, then scores how many would be very disappointed without your product, by role and company size.

  1. Say who counts as active

    River’s pick: used it on two or more days in the last two weeks.

  2. River sends the survey

    A note from you with the link, then one reminder after three days.

  3. Your score, a week later

    How many would be very disappointed, against the 40% bar, by role and size.

What you get.

  • A survey page with the four questions, every answer flowing into a Sheet
  • A score Sheet with your result overall and by segment, charted
  • A one-page Doc on your fans, what holds the rest back and what to build next

A few things to know.

What does the survey ask?

Four questions, word for word: how they’d feel if they could no longer use it, who would benefit most, the main benefit they get and how you could improve it. It goes out only after your yes.

What do I do with the score?

Skip those who wouldn’t mind losing it. River lists what holds back the somewhat disappointed who value what your fans value, so you know what to build next.

What does it cost?

It uses your plan’s AI credit, like everything else in River. Invitations go from your own email, so there’s no survey tool to pay for.
