Evidence

Metrics against pass thresholds, the funnel, breakdowns and how each number is counted.

What it answers#

The Evidence tab answers one question: is this test passing its pre-set thresholds? It is read-only and recalculated every time the page loads.

Metric cards#

One card per pass threshold, plus offer-test hours. Each shows the metric's name, a Met (aqua) or Not yet tag, the current value in large serif type, its target, and a bar of progress towards it.

Named-prospect tests:

Metric How it is counted Default threshold
Named prospects Outreach rows (prospects you added) between 30 and 50
Contacted Rows with a contacted date ÷ prospects, as a % ≥ 80%
Qualified conversations Conversation events ≥ 10
Priced pilot commitments Pilot commitment + deposit events ≥ 2

Public-audience tests:

Metric How it is counted Default threshold
Visits from tagged links Visits whose link carried a utm_source ≥ 300
Conversion Distinct lead emails ÷ distinct daily visitor codes, as a % ≥ 5%
Paid deposits Deposit events ≥ 2

The Offer-test hours card shows intake + test hours against the cap (default 25), tagged Within cap or Over cap. Demo and pilot hours are not counted.

Funnel#

The Funnel card shows outreach (prospects contacted), visits, leads, conversations and commitments (pilot commitments + deposits), each with a bar and the conversion from the step before. Underneath: the outreach completion % for named-prospect tests, or Bookings (conversation events — how Cal.com bookings are recorded) for public-audience tests.

Breakdown#

  • By channel (public-audience tests): visits, leads and conversion per utm_source, with untagged traffic last. Leads count distinct emails.
  • Top prospects by response (named-prospect tests): up to eight prospects ranked by leads then visits, with whether they have been contacted.

How these are measured#

The fold at the bottom lists every definition above, so a number is never read out of context.

Things to keep in mind:

  • Visitor codes change daily, so one person visiting on three days counts as three visitors: conversion is conservative.
  • Bookings and deposits count only once you log them as events.
  • Evidence uses the thresholds in the brief now; changing thresholds mid-test changes the pass marks.

Experiment 000#

The studio's own recruitment test has its own view:

Card What it shows
Visits and applications by source Studio-page visits and applications grouped by utm_source and utm_campaign, with the rate. This is how you compare the links you share. (none) means untagged.
Recruitment thresholds 3 qualifying partners found within 3 weeks — applications you accepted in the last 3 weeks, Met or Not yet. Terms signed within 2 weeks of acceptance — signing happens outside the platform; record it in a review memo. Underneath, the total accepted.

The stat strip above shows studio visits in the last 30 days, applications, accepted in three weeks, and recruitment hours.
