Discover how professionals across industries transform product decisions with AfterChange

Simple Logging vs afterchange.io

Simple Logging

  • Only records "what happened"
  • Shows numbers but no insights
  • Requires manual analysis
  • No before/after comparison
  • Doesn't answer "Did this decision work?"

afterchange.io

  • Answers "What, Why, What Impact"
  • Automatically compares before/after data. AI summarizes if you want.
  • Test hypothesis, see results
  • Automatic before/after comparison
  • Data-driven decision making

Real-World Scenarios

See how afterchange.io adds value to your daily work

Did New Feature Increase Purchases?

Normal Logging

'payment_completed' event logged 150 times

Is this good or bad?

AfterChange

Before: 100/week

After: 150/week

+50% increase! Time to invest in marketing

Did Bug Fix Actually Reduce Errors?

Normal Logging

'checkout_error' event decreased

By how much?

AfterChange

Decision: "Checkout bug fix"

Before: 50 error/day

After: 5 error/day

-90%! Check timeouts for remaining 5 errors

Did UI Change Increase or Decrease Clicks?

Normal Logging

'button_click' event exists

Did it improve or worsen?

AfterChange

Hypothesis: "Green button +30% clicks"

Before: 1000 (blue)

After: 950 (green)

Real-World Use Cases

Product

Signup Button Redesign

Problem

User signup conversion was below industry benchmarks. The signup button was small and positioned in a low-visibility area.

Decision Made

Redesigned the signup button with a larger size, brighter color (blue to green), and moved it to the header sticky position. Conducted A/B test with 50% traffic split.

Hypothesis

"Users will complete signup more frequently, leading to increased registration rate"

Tracked Metric

user_registered

Result

Signup completion rate increased by 34% (from 2.1% to 2.8%). Hypothesis confirmed. Change rolled out to 100% of users.

Hardware

CPU Temperature Optimization

Problem

IoT device CPU was overheating during peak load, reaching 85°C and causing thermal throttling. This reduced performance and shortened device lifespan.

Decision Made

Implemented new cooling algorithm that dynamically adjusts fan speed based on workload prediction. Also optimized CPU scheduling to distribute load more evenly.

Hypothesis

"CPU temperature will decrease under load, reducing thermal throttling and improving device reliability"

Tracked Metric

cpu_temperature_alert

Result

Average CPU temperature dropped by 18% (from 82°C to 67°C). Thermal throttling incidents reduced by 92%. Device stability improved significantly.

Engineering

Database Query Optimization

Problem

API response times were degrading as user base grew. Database queries for user dashboard were taking 2-4 seconds, causing poor user experience.

Decision Made

Added composite indexes on frequently queried columns, implemented query result caching with Redis, and optimized N+1 query patterns in ORM.

Hypothesis

"API response time will decrease, improving user experience and reducing server load"

Tracked Metric

api_response_slow

Result

Average API response time improved by 73% (from 2.8s to 750ms). Server CPU usage decreased by 40%. User satisfaction scores increased.

Business

Developer Laptop Investment ROI

Problem

Engineering team was working on 4-year-old laptops. Build times averaged 12 minutes, hot reload took 8-10 seconds. Developer satisfaction surveys showed frustration with tooling performance.

Decision Made

Invested $75,000 in new MacBook Pro M3 Max laptops for 15-person engineering team. Set up webhook integration with GitHub to track commit frequency and build completion as productivity proxies.

Hypothesis

"Better hardware will reduce friction in development workflow, leading to increased code commits and faster iteration cycles"

Tracked Metric

code_committed

Result

Daily commits increased by 42% (from 38 to 54 commits/day). Build completion events up 35%. Developer satisfaction NPS improved from 6.2 to 8.7. ROI achieved in 4 months through faster delivery.
