Audience and activation measures
Where relevant, review eligible records, accepted or matched audiences, coverage, and suppressed or unresolved records. A platform match does not establish engagement or purchase intent.
Lead and appointment measures
Define qualified lead rate, appointment rate, show rate, and close rate against explicit denominators and consistent cohorts. A change in qualification rules can change a metric without changing customer outcomes.
Customer and economic measures
Connect customers, acquisition cost, revenue, and gross profit where customer data is available. State included costs, attribution period, cohort maturity, and whether value is observed or projected.
Create the measurement agreement
Assign the source system and owner for each metric, document exclusions and missing data, choose a review window, and decide what evidence would support continuing or changing the program. No improvement is assumed.
The closer the metric gets to revenue, the more commercially meaningful it becomes.
Customer and revenue outcomes connect the program to business value. Upstream measures remain valuable diagnostic indicators: they explain audience coverage, delivery, engagement, and where execution may be breaking down. Revenue data also needs consistent definitions, cost context, and a suitable observation window.
