Entry cohort	First product event and entry date	Do later states differ by starting cohort?	Onboarding and post-onboarding periods may not be comparable.
Account segment	Named account or customer characteristic	Does the threshold or constraint differ by segment?	Segment labels do not prove fit or profitability.
Role cohort	User role or buying role	Who performs the event and who receives the handoff?	One active user may not represent the account.
Motion cohort	Self-service, sales-assisted, or mixed path	Which route was actually used?	Paths must not be merged after the fact.
