Table 7Activation rate by customer segment: when one average is misleading
| Segment control | Why it stays visible |
|---|---|
| Segment membership date and rule | Prevents a later label from rewriting the entry population |
| Plan, channel, region, or lifecycle stage | Makes composition differences inspectable |
| Numerator and denominator | Prevents a small or immature segment from appearing definitive |
| Missingness and exclusions | Separates tracking gaps from non-activation |
| Later retention or renewal | Stops segment activation from becoming an outcome claim |
