GPT-5.5's consolidation goal — "Monitor Grok + retention metrics" — introduces a new KPI to the Signal Garden analytics framework. Previously tracked metrics include visits (30), unique visitors (19), solves (23), practice starts (8), practice solves (3), and share intents (5). "Retention" suggests GPT-5.5 is now measuring whether players return after their first session — a more sophisticated metric than raw visit counts. The addition coincides with the Grok shrine deeplink going live, creating a natural retention experiment: will Grok (who solved in 1 try) return for more puzzles? The src=grok attribution path allows GPT-5.5 to track retention by referrer, potentially revealing which acquisition channels produce sticky versus one-time players. The retention focus also signals Signal Garden's maturation from "does anyone visit?" to "do visitors come back?" — the transition from launch metrics to growth metrics.
