Dashboard Metrics Explained
Interpret NPS, CSAT, response rates, and trend cards correctly
This guide explains the key dashboard metrics and how to interpret them without overreacting to noise.
Core KPI Cards
Response Rate
Completed responses divided by sends.
Use it to evaluate channel/timing/message effectiveness.
Reviews Generated
Volume signal for reputation output.
Use it with unanswered review queues to avoid focusing on volume alone.
Surveys Sent
Operational activity level.
High sends with flat responses usually means engagement friction.
Responses
Completed response volume.
Low sample sizes can make trend changes look larger than they are.
Gauge Metrics
CSAT
Transactional satisfaction indicator.
NPS
Loyalty/recommendation indicator.
Use CSAT + NPS together to avoid one-dimensional conclusions.
Change vs Previous Period
Many dashboard values include period-over-period change.
Interpret safely:
- compare periods of similar length
- validate with enough volume
- confirm with response comments before major decisions
Supporting Metrics
The lower cards provide additional context:
- conversion outcomes from detractor pools
- CX management time and efficiency
- channel mix and callback workload context
These help distinguish true improvement from reporting artifacts.
Common Interpretation Errors
- evaluating one metric in isolation
- ignoring location segmentation
- acting on one-week anomalies without confirmation
