Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why 6 months minimum?

Meaningful metric movement takes 3-4 months.

-Months 1-2 = planning and quick wins.

-Month 3-4 = bigger changes ship.

-Month 5-6 = see impact and adjust.

Anything shorter doesn’t give enough time to prove what works.

Yes. Most clients extend for another 6-12 months. After the initial 6 months, we move to month-to-month with 30-day notice.

We adjust the strategy. In the monthly product assessment and quarterly resets, we review what’s working and what’s not. If something isn’t moving the number, we kill it and try something else. That’s the point of metric focus: ruthless prioritization.
