The term 'cohort' originated from Roman military divisions, but its modern usage exploded with the rise of 'Growth Hacking' in Silicon Valley. It represents the shift in Western business culture from looking at total numbers to understanding specific user lifecycles and behavioral patterns.
The 'That' Rule
Always follow this phrase with 'that' to introduce your finding. It makes the sentence flow perfectly in a report.
Don't Overuse It

What It Means
Cohort analysis indicated is a heavy-hitting phrase from the world of data. A cohort is just a group of people who have something in common. Maybe they all started using an app in January. Maybe they all graduated in the same year. Analysis means you studied them closely. Indicated is a polite, academic way to say 'showed' or 'suggested.' When you put it together, you are telling people that your conclusions aren't just a guess. You have tracked a specific group over time and found a pattern. It sounds very smart and authoritative.
How To Use It
You use this when you want to sound like a pro. Use it to introduce a discovery about behavior. You usually follow it with the word that. For example: Cohort analysis indicated that users quit after three days. It acts as a bridge between your hard work and your final conclusion. Think of it as the 'drumroll' before you reveal a big secret about your customers or students. It moves the focus away from your opinion and onto the data itself. It makes you look objective and cool-headed.
When To Use It
This is a superstar phrase in business meetings and academic papers. Use it when presenting a quarterly report. Use it during a pitch to investors to show you know your audience. It is perfect for marketing discussions or medical research updates. If you are talking to your boss about why sales are down, this phrase is your best friend. It shows you did your homework. It’s also great for serious blog posts about social trends or tech habits.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use this at a birthday party or on a first date. If you say, "Cohort analysis indicated that you like pizza," your date might think you are a robot. Avoid it in casual texts with friends unless you are being sarcastic. It is too heavy for small talk. Also, don't use it if you only looked at one person. A cohort needs to be a group. If you use it for a tiny, random sample, data experts will catch you. It’s for trends, not individual gossip.
Cultural Background
This phrase comes from the world of statistics and medicine. The word cohort actually comes from ancient Roman military units! Today, it’s the language of Silicon Valley and big tech. In Western business culture, being 'data-driven' is a huge badge of honor. Using this phrase signals that you belong to the modern, analytical professional world. It reflects a culture that values evidence over gut feelings. It’s the language of the 'Information Age.'
Common Variations
You might hear people say The cohort study suggests or Data from the cohort shows. In more casual offices, someone might just say Looking at the January group, we see... but Cohort analysis indicated remains the gold standard for formal reporting. Sometimes people swap indicated for revealed or highlighted to add a bit more drama to their findings. If the results are very strong, they might say confirmed instead.
इस्तेमाल की जानकारी
This phrase sits firmly in the 'formal' category. It is ideal for white papers, slide decks, and academic journals. Avoid using it in casual settings unless you are intentionally trying to sound overly academic for a laugh.
The 'That' Rule
Always follow this phrase with 'that' to introduce your finding. It makes the sentence flow perfectly in a report.
Don't Overuse It

The Sarcasm Secret
In English, using very formal 'data' words for funny personal observations (like your friends' eating habits) is a common form of dry humor.

Rarely. You would mostly hear it in offices, universities, or news reports about science. Using it at home would be seen as a joke or very stiff.
Usually, yes. While you can technically group objects, cohort almost always refers to groups of people, like users, patients, or students.
