CPI test

Depending on the type of your game (hyper casual or hybrid casual), our expectations from the CPI tests differ.

For hyper casual, the goal is to reach

CPI < $0.4
D1 retention > 35%
D3 retention > 15%

For hybrid casual, the goal is to reach

CPI < $1.0
5000s CPTD3
20% game completion

If your prototype almost reaches these numbers, we might want to try some modifications to try to get there. So, there can be more than one CPI test.
