Problem Statement 2 (Referrals): Obvious has a referral feature that is underutilized, with a low number of users actively referring their friends. By introducing an incentivized referral program within a limited budget, we aim to significantly improve user acquisition by motivating more users to refer their friends and encouraging successful onboarding and engagement for both the referrer and the referee. Go through the current referral program of Obvious and find ways to either improve the existing referral plan or create a new referral plan to help spread word of mouth.
