Example ScorecardClick Actual to fill in your own numbers
| KPI | Target | Actual | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| HCP Engagement Score | 70+ | At Risk | |
| Audience Match Rate | 65%+ | On Track | |
| Incremental Lift | 15%+ | At Risk | |
| Brand Search Lift | 20%+ | On Track |
Common Measurement Mistakes
- • Treating HCP engagement volume as a proxy for prescribing impact without validating the correlation
- • Comparing audience match rates across DSPs with different identity resolution methods
- • Running incrementality tests without sufficient sample size for the target effect size
- • Skipping MLR/compliance review of engagement scoring methodology before operationalizing it
Best-Practice Notes
- • Blend field, digital, and medical-education signals into a single HCP engagement score rather than relying on any one channel
- • Always pair audience match rate with a downstream outcome metric — match rate alone is a feasibility gate, not a success metric
- • Use geo-holdout or PSA-holdout designs for incrementality wherever budget allows
