How I Amplitude: LTV Forecasting with Retention & the Amplitude API
What happens when you need LTV forecasts, but don’t have the Amplitude Experiment package? You build your own—from scratch.
In this advanced “How I Amplitude” session, Artur Markov (Product Analyst at JATAPP) will walk through the A/B testing system he built using Amplitude Retention Charts, Google Sheets, AppsScript, Amplitude’s API, and some very creative math.
🧠 Why it’s worth showing up:
This isn’t a talk about dashboards. Artur is pulling back the curtain on the full rebill forecasting workflow he created. From using retention charts to calculate rebill curves, to setting up a Bayesian testing engine powered by the API, to running a Sequential Probability Ratio Test (SPRT) using nothing but formulas.
You’ll see how he:
Reworked Amplitude retention charts into LTV curves
Segmented cohorts using user properties (without built-in experimentation tools)
Wrote custom scripts to handle Bayesian test logic and prediction modeling
Applied SPRT logic to visualize when a test reaches significance
This is a rare behind-the-scenes look at what’s possible when you push Amplitude’s APIs to the edge. You may not need complex tooling to get rigorous, real-world results.
🎓 Perfect for:
Product analysts building outside the box
PMs and data scientists working around tooling gaps
Teams running monetization, retention, or rebill experiments
