Define the commercial events
Standardize proof view, proof interaction, CTA click, lead, qualified lead, opportunity, client, revenue, expansion, and referral.
Choose attribution windows
Decide how long after a proof interaction you will consider downstream actions relevant for analysis.
Distinguish assisted from direct
A testimonial may assist a decision without being the final click. Track both direct and assisted influence where possible.
Segment by proof type
Compare testimonial, case study, quantitative result, video, certification, logo, and third-party validation separately.
Connect to economics
Look beyond conversion rate by examining client quality, average revenue, retention, and LTV after different proof paths.
Use directional evidence responsibly
Treat attribution as decision support, not absolute causal proof, unless the experiment design justifies stronger claims.
