# Campaign Metrics

## Core KPIs

### Primary Metrics

| Metric | Formula | Benchmark (Cold Email) |
|--------|---------|------------------------|
| Open Rate | (Opened / Sent) * 100 | 40-50% (good), 25-40% (average) |
| Reply Rate | (Replied / Sent) * 100 | 5-10% (good), 2-5% (average) |
| Positive Reply Rate | (Positive / Replied) * 100 | 25-40% (good) |
| Bounce Rate | (Bounced / Sent) * 100 | <2% (healthy) |
| Unsubscribe Rate | (Unsubscribed / Sent) * 100 | <0.5% (healthy) |

### Secondary Metrics

| Metric | Formula | Use Case |
|--------|---------|----------|
| Emails per Lead | Total Sent / Unique Leads | Sequence effectiveness |
| Reply by Step | Replies per step / Sent per step | Identify best-performing emails |
| Time to Reply | Avg time between send and reply | Timing optimization |

## Benchmark Reference

### Industry Benchmarks by Vertical

| Vertical | Open Rate | Reply Rate | Notes |
|----------|-----------|------------|-------|
| SaaS | 45-55% | 5-12% | Higher engagement |
| Agency | 35-45% | 3-7% | Competitive space |
| E-commerce | 30-40% | 2-5% | Volume-focused |
| Financial Services | 25-35% | 2-4% | Compliance-heavy |

### Performance Tiers

```
EXCELLENT (Top 10%)
  Open Rate: >50%
  Reply Rate: >10%
  Bounce Rate: <1%

GOOD (Top 25%)
  Open Rate: 40-50%
  Reply Rate: 5-10%
  Bounce Rate: 1-2%

AVERAGE (Middle 50%)
  Open Rate: 25-40%
  Reply Rate: 2-5%
  Bounce Rate: 2-5%

POOR (Bottom 25%)
  Open Rate: 15-25%
  Reply Rate: 1-2%
  Bounce Rate: 5-10%

CRITICAL (Bottom 10%)
  Open Rate: <15%
  Reply Rate: <1%
  Bounce Rate: >10%
```

## Diagnostic Patterns

### Pattern Matrix

| Open Rate | Reply Rate | Diagnosis | Action |
|-----------|------------|-----------|--------|
| Low (<25%) | Any | Subject line issue | A/B test subjects |
| High (>40%) | Low (<2%) | Body copy issue | Rewrite email body |
| High | High | Winning combo | Scale and replicate |
| Declining | Stable | Fatigue setting in | Refresh creative |
| Any | Any + High Bounce | List quality issue | Verify emails |

### Time-Based Analysis

| Pattern | Meaning | Action |
|---------|---------|--------|
| Monday spike | Inbox cleared over weekend | Send Sun night or Mon early |
| Friday drop | Weekend mindset | Avoid Fri afternoon sends |
| Steady decline | Audience exhaustion | Rotate lists or refresh copy |
| Random spikes | External event correlation | Analyze and replicate |

## Score Calculation

### Campaign Health Score (0-100)

```
health_score = (
    open_score * 0.25 +
    reply_score * 0.35 +
    deliverability_score * 0.25 +
    trend_score * 0.15
)
```

**Component Calculations:**

```
open_score = normalize(open_rate, min=0, max=60)
  60%+ open = 100 points
  40% open = 67 points
  20% open = 33 points
  0% open = 0 points

reply_score = normalize(reply_rate, min=0, max=15)
  15%+ reply = 100 points
  10% reply = 67 points
  5% reply = 33 points
  0% reply = 0 points

deliverability_score = 100 - (bounce_rate * 10)
  0% bounce = 100 points
  5% bounce = 50 points
  10% bounce = 0 points

trend_score = based on week-over-week change
  +10% improvement = 100 points
  Stable = 50 points
  -10% decline = 0 points
```

### Score Interpretation

| Score | Rating | Action Required |
|-------|--------|-----------------|
| 90-100 | Excellent | Maintain, scale if possible |
| 75-89 | Good | Minor optimizations |
| 60-74 | Average | Address weak areas |
| 40-59 | Poor | Major revision needed |
| 0-39 | Critical | Pause and fix immediately |

rpg-migration-analyzer

Included

Analyzes legacy RPG (Report Program Generator) programs from AS/400 and IBM i systems for migration to modern Java applications. Extracts business logic from RPG III/IV/ILE source code, identifies data structures (D-specs), file operations (F-specs), program dependencies (CALLB/CALLP), and converts RPG constructs to Java equivalents. Generates migration reports, complexity estimates, and Java implementation strategies with POJO classes, JPA entities, and service methods. Use when modernizing AS/400 or IBM i legacy systems, analyzing RPG source files (.rpg, .rpgle, .RPGLE), converting RPG to Java, mapping data specifications to Java classes, planning legacy system migration, or when user mentions RPG analysis, Report Program Generator, RPG III/IV/ILE, AS/400 modernization, IBM i migration, packed decimal conversion, or mainframe application rewrite.

brand-library-architect

Included

Build a complete brand library for a product — visual asset render pipeline, brand documentation set (BRAND, COPY, MANIFESTO, BIOS, FAQ, GLOSSARY, TONE, PRICING), open-source convention files (README, CONTRIBUTING, SECURITY, CODE_OF_CONDUCT), and a self-contained press kit. This skill should be used when the user asks to "build a brand library / brand kit / press kit / brand assets" for a product, "set up a brand library workflow," "create a positioning manifesto plus visual identity," or any combination of brand documentation + visual asset pipeline. Apply phase-by-phase or run end-to-end. Templates are product-agnostic and use {{TOKEN}} placeholders the skill prompts the user to fill.

writing-tech-post

Included

Authors engineering blog posts end-to-end: launch deep-dives, incident postmortems, architecture migrations, performance case studies, tutorials, AI/agent system writeups, security disclosures, and research-to-product translations. Picks the correct archetype, plans the abstraction ladder, enforces an evidence cadence (diagrams, benchmarks, profiles, traces, code, ablations), tunes voice against publisher house styles (Datadog, Vercel, GitHub, AWS, Meta, Cloudflare, Jane Street), and runs a pre-publish gate for narrative momentum and disclosure ethics. Use when drafting a new engineering post, restructuring a draft that feels flat, deciding which evidence form belongs where, validating that depth and product context are balanced, or preparing a postmortem, migration, or performance narrative for external publication. Do not use for API reference documentation, README authoring, marketing copy, release notes, generic SEO content, ghost-written executive thought leadership, or non-engineering long-form essays.
