Summary
Three points to use.
- Begin with the business decisions the review needs to support.
- Check event implementation, date ranges, campaign changes, website changes, and attribution limits before interpreting performance.
- Record observations, possible explanations, actions, owners, and review dates in separate fields.
Name the business decision first
A budget review needs different evidence from a content review or website usability review. State the decision at the top so every chart and comment has a defined purpose.
Check the measurement foundation
Confirm what was intended to be measured and whether the implementation remained stable. Record data gaps and operational changes before explaining increases or decreases.
- Which event or outcome was measured?
- Was tracking implemented consistently?
- What changed during the comparison period?
- Which conclusions are unsupported by the available data?
Separate facts, observations, and explanations
An event firing correctly is an implementation fact. A lower completion rate is an observation. The reason for the change may still be an explanation that needs testing. Keeping these fields separate prevents a plausible story from becoming an unsupported conclusion.
Assign each approved action
Every action needs an owner, due date, expected observation, and review date. This turns the review into a working record and makes the next meeting accountable.
