What does go-to-market efficiency measure?
| Field | Possible declaration | Failure when it is hidden |
|---|---|---|
| Output | Collected revenue, contribution, bookings, gross profit, or qualified pipeline | A revenue ratio is read as profit or cash efficiency |
| Resource denominator | Marketing, sales, implementation, partner, support, or shared cost | One motion receives less cost than another |
| Motion | Self-serve, sales-led, partner-assisted, or mixed route | Different operating paths share one unqualified label |
| Period | Month, quarter, cohort, contract year, or payback horizon | Short-cycle output is compared with long-cycle spend |
| Maturity | Collection, realization, renewal, or observation cutoff | Immature output makes a motion look weak or strong |
| Capacity | Available labor, service, partner, and implementation limits | A ratio ignores the scarce resource it consumes |
| Attribution | Descriptive association or counterfactual design | Efficiency is presented as a causal return |
