Table 7What counts as evidence for a sales enablement decision?
| Evidence type | It can support | It cannot support by itself | Minimum fields |
|---|---|---|---|
| Descriptive | What exposure, adoption, behavior, or outcome was observed. | Why it happened or whether enablement caused it. | Population, unit, period, measure, and source. |
| Comparative | How two declared programs, periods, groups, or workflows differ. | That the difference was caused by the program. | Comparison, eligibility, timing, and uncertainty. |
| Causal | A specified effect under a defensible design and population. | A universal training ROI or result outside the studied boundary. | Treatment, comparison, outcome, timing, assumptions, and disconfirmation. |
| Delivery evidence | Whether the promised capability entered the declared workflow. | That the commercial program caused the customer's result. | Promise version, user, workflow, reviewer, date, and result. |
