Growth agent
A growth agent is an autonomous worker that runs one stage of the growth-science loop without being prompted: reading signals, writing hypotheses, designing experiments, launching them through connected systems or reading out causal results. Agents operate continuously under explicit guardrails and hand work to each other.
Why it matters for ARPU
Analytical capacity, not idea quality, is the binding constraint on ARPU in a large base. Agents lift that ceiling because they run the loop at machine cadence rather than sprint cadence.
