Define a Success-Measurement Plan for a New EU B2C Chat Subscription
You are launching a paid business-to-customer chat subscription in the EU. Design a rigorous success-measurement plan that captures early product–market fit and monetization while preventing customer harm or spam.
Assume:
- Businesses (companies) pay a recurring subscription fee to use the chat product to message consumers.
- Threads may involve bots, human agents, and handoffs between them; threads may be reopened; chats may be multilingual.
- Measurement must be EU-focused and compliant with regional norms.
Deliverables:
-
Primary KPIs (5 total)
- Define five primary KPIs that capture early product–market fit and monetization.
- Examples (choose and/or refine): Monthly Subscribed Companies, Monthly Subscription Revenue, Resolved-Within-24h Rate, First-Response-Time P50/P90, Net Revenue Retention.
-
Guardrails (6 total)
- Define six guardrails that prevent customer harm or spam.
- Examples (choose and/or refine): % Chats Not Solved, Long-Duration Chat Rate, Unexpected Message Burst Rate, Complaint Rate, Unsubscribe/Opt-out Rate, Negative Sentiment Share.
-
Operational Definitions
-
For every KPI and guardrail, provide exact operational definitions with:
- Formulas.
- Event filters (e.g., geography, language, bot vs human, internal/test accounts).
- Attribution rules for multi-language, bot-to-human handoff, multi-agent threads, and reopened tickets.
-
For “Not Solved,” provide two measurable definitions:
(a) sentiment-model threshold, and (b) post-chat CSAT.
- Discuss bias and failure modes for each and how you would calibrate thresholds.
-
For every KPI and guardrail, provide exact operational definitions with:
-
Windows, Cohorts, Segments, Data Quality
- Time windows (e.g., MoM, 28-day rolling).
- Cohorting: by business signup month AND by customer first-contact month.
- Segmentation: country, vertical, company size (and include language where relevant).
- Data-quality checks: outliers, duplicate threads, late events.
-
Targets and Triggers
- Propose target ranges and escalation triggers for each KPI and guardrail.
