The idea in everyday life
Fictional Lantern Prints sells $50 posters. Its practice goal is completed paid orders, counted once by order ID during a seven-day window. An ad dashboard lists 30 checkout starts, 24 payment attempts and 20 unique completed orders.
Choose a completed customer action and a consistent counting rule before comparing channels.

Fictional Lantern Prints sells $50 posters. Its practice goal is completed paid orders, counted once by order ID during a seven-day window. An ad dashboard lists 30 checkout starts, 24 payment attempts and 20 unique completed orders.
1. Choose outcome
Use completed paid orders as the goal.
You should see: Goal count is 20.
Starting checkout is not completing payment.
2. Define denominator
Use 500 recorded visits in the same week.
You should see: Order conversion is 20/500 = 4%.
Match numerator and denominator scope.
3. Name limitations
Note that visits are not necessarily unique people.
You should see: The metric is orders per visit.
Do not call it a customer conversion probability.
4. Write measurement card
Record goal, ID rule, period, denominator and owner.
You should see: A repeatable definition fits on one card.
Definitions prevent shifting success measures.
What to finish
A measurement card with an explicit counting rule.
