I don't know if they can hold that true that people will be signing up per "skyrocket" metaphor. They can use past data, but cannot use unknown future data.



Isn't "being on life support" nearly the opposite of "set to skyrocket" from a service perspective?

They can show that it was the #1 most downloaded app on Apple's app store and make a reasonable inference from that.


Possibly a precentage. Downloading the app is not always 1-to-1 for signing up. Someone could be using the web-version, then decides to download the app.
