| Layer | Example measures | Decision supported |
|---|---|---|
| Acquisition | Reach, profile visits, qualified referrals | Which sources bring relevant attention? |
| Conversion | Visitor-to-subscriber or viewer-to-action rate | Where does the journey lose suitable people? |
| Retention | Renewal, churn, returning viewers, cohort value | Does the experience sustain interest? |
| Economics | Net revenue, revenue per hour, fees and costs | Is the workload commercially sustainable? |
Gross platform activity, platform-payable amounts, management calculations and cash received are not interchangeable. Reconcile them through deductions, timing differences, refunds, chargebacks and currency costs.
Group subscribers or viewers by a meaningful starting event and compare the same elapsed period. Mixing mature and new audiences can hide deterioration or create false improvement.
A polished dashboard can still be wrong. Check the grain and completeness of the inputs before treating a movement as a business signal.
Many live platforms do not expose subscription-style retention. Use clearly labelled proxies such as returning viewers, follower growth, repeat private activity or comparable session cohorts, and state what each proxy cannot prove.
