Choose decision metrics

Dashboard space is limited. Prioritize metrics that help decide where to spend, what to fix, and how to protect margin.

  • Net profit
  • Net margin
  • Contribution profit
  • ROAS and CPA
  • Refund rate
  • Product profitability

Separate vanity from operating signal

Traffic, impressions, and revenue can be useful context, but they should not crowd out profit and cost visibility.

  • Use revenue with margin
  • Use ROAS with profit
  • Use CAC with payback

Make data health visible

Operators need to know whether the dashboard is safe to trust. Missing costs, broken integrations, and stale data should be visible.

  • Integration status
  • Unmapped products
  • Missing COGS
  • Delayed ad spend
