KPI DESIGN

Use a small metric set with clear decision value

A dashboard can contain many numbers and still fail to answer whether the program should continue. Each KPI should support an operating or investment decision.

Operational health

Monitor evaluation volume, qualification rate, decision timing, delivery outcomes, exceptions, support contacts, and reconciliation differences. Operational metrics reveal whether the intended experience is functioning.

Customer response

Track offer exposure where available, eligible orders, participation, delivered incentives, observed use, and relevant follow-on behavior. Keep denominators and observation windows explicit.

Commercial effect

Review order contribution, return-adjusted economics, total program cost, and performance against the pre-agreed baseline. Avoid declaring return on investment from revenue alone.

MAKE THE BRIEF SPECIFIC

Plan the Shopify incentive around a real customer action.

Bring the commercial objective, eligible purchase, customer promise, and unresolved operating questions. Start with the channel that fits your next step.
