|---|---|---|---|
| Exposure | Which units saw or received the loop action? | Eligible population and delivery cost. | Exposure is treated as value. |
| Transfer | Which output was delivered and accepted? | Channel, reward, service, and support cost. | Delivery is treated as revenue. |
| New entry | Which distinct unit met the entry rule? | Acquisition cost and timing. | Entry is treated as incremental revenue. |
| Outcome | What changed under which comparison? | Revenue, margin, retention, or cash line. | Association is called causal lift. |
| Timing | When should the outcome be recognized? | Recognition, collection, and review dates. | A later outcome is assigned to the loop without a horizon. |
