Generate a measurement plan

Produces a two-page measurement plan in Markdown: objectives in plain language, one indicating conversion each, a named source of truth, a value definition and a sign-off block. It exists to prevent the most expensive failure in this field, which is a technically flawless implementation of the wrong thing — and which is only visible months later when someone asks why the numbers don't answer the question.

Generate a measurement plan

Produces a two-page measurement plan in Markdown — objectives, one indicating conversion each, a named source of truth, a value definition and a sign-off block. It exists to prevent the most expensive failure in this field, which is a technically flawless implementation of the wrong thing.

Business or property *
Plan owner *
Source of truth *

The system whose record decides whether a conversion happened.

Value definition
Business objectives, one per line *
Indicating conversion per objective, one per line *

Fill in Business or property, Plan owner, Source of truth, Business objectives, one per line, Indicating conversion per objective, one per line to generate the output.

Plan generator · what breaks

What this tool is for — Plan generator

  1. 01

    You're about to commission tracking work

    And want the brief written first.

  2. 02

    Nobody agreed what to measure

    So the numbers get disputed.

  3. 03

    You're onboarding an agency

    And want a document they build against.

Plan generator · the fix

What you get out of it — Plan generator

  • A structured plan in Markdown

    Ready for your wiki or a document.

  • A sign-off block

    Which is what prevents the later argument.

  • Warnings on the two common mistakes

    Missing source of truth, and more conversions than objectives.

Plan generator · architecture

Why the plan comes before the tags

Most tracking rebuilds we're asked to do are re-implementations rather than repairs — the first build was correct and measured the wrong thing.

  1. 1

    A correct implementation of the wrong thing is still wrong

    And it's far more expensive to discover, because everything looks like it's working.

  2. 2

    An unnamed source of truth guarantees a dispute

    Every argument about whose number is right traces back to nobody having written it down.

  3. 3

    More than one conversion per objective confuses bidding

    It optimizes toward an average of things you value differently.

  4. 4

    Sign-off is the point

    A plan nobody agreed is a document. A plan marketing and finance both signed is a reference.

Plan generator · diagnose

What this tool cannot tell you — Plan generator

Stated up front, because a tool that implies more confidence than it has is worse than no tool. These are checks you have to run yourself.

  1. 01

    Whether your objectives are the right ones

    That's a business question. The plan just makes them explicit.

  2. 02

    Whether the conversion actually indicates the objective

    Worth arguing about with whoever signs it off.

  3. 03

    Whether your source of truth is reliable

    It records what you named. Whether that system's data is clean is a separate question.

  4. 04

    Anything about your implementation

    This is the brief, not the build.

Plan generator · prove

How to confirm the result — Plan generator

Against your own records, not against the tool's output.

Source of truth

the system you name in the plan itself

  • A written plan signed off before implementation started.
  • One indicating conversion per objective.
  • A named source-of-truth system with an owner.
  • A value definition with a documented derivation.
  • Reconciled over a fully closed window, matched per record rather than on totals.
  • Re-checked after your next site release, which is when most breaks happen.

Plan generator · when not to buy

Why this isn't gated — Plan generator

There's no email form in front of it, and that's deliberate.

  • A tool you have to pay for with your contact details is a lead form wearing a costume. If this is useful, it should be useful without a transaction.
  • Everything it does runs in your browser. There is no endpoint, so there is nothing for us to collect even if we wanted to — open your network tab and check.
  • It will tell you when you don't have a problem. That outcome costs us a sale and happens regularly, which is the point of publishing it rather than putting it behind a call.
  • If it does find something and you'd rather fix it yourself, the reference pages on this site cover the how. Hiring us is one option, not the conclusion.

Plan generator · what we deliver

What it checks — Plan generator

  • Source of truth named

    Refuses to produce a clean plan without one.

  • Objective-to-conversion ratio

    Warns when they don't match one to one.

  • Value definition present

    Or flagged as a gap you should acknowledge.

  • Validation section included

    With per-record reconciliation rather than totals.

Plan generator questions, answered

Two pages. One that nobody reads has failed at its only job, and length is the usual reason.
