Qualified Signup Definition Workshop

Agree an evidence-based definition of a relevant signup, with unknown cases and counterexamples instead of treating every form submission as a customer.

When to use this template

Use this when teams report “qualified users” but disagree about what qualifies. Start with the product’s supported task and actual access scope, then test the proposed rule on safe examples.

Choose another approach when: You want to infer personal traits from email addresses, hide uncertain records inside a positive metric, or equate audience fit with permission to send marketing.

Gather these inputs

• An evidence-backed audience task profile and actual product eligibility limits.
• The specific reporting or routing decision qualification should support.
• Minimum relevant information already available and safe example cases for review.

Worked example

Illustrative example, not a Crany customer result. Replace every example detail with facts you can verify.

Fictional example: a handoff pilot supports designers preparing client checklists. One signup explicitly describes that task, another asks for unsupported payroll automation, and a third supplies no task context.
The workshop classifies the first as fitting current scope, the second as outside this pilot’s task scope and the third as unknown. It does not infer fit from a corporate email address or classify the missing answer as poor intent.
Reviewers discover that “client work” is too broad and revise the criterion before comparing channel counts. The original records are not rewritten to make prior performance look better. None of these labels establishes payment, successful product use or permission for a new campaign.

How to use it

1. Define the real decision and necessary task evidence before reviewing outcomes.
2. Test inclusion, exclusion and unknown cases and resolve disagreement explicitly.
3. Version the rule and assess classification errors before comparing qualified counts.

Check before using it

• Unknown task context remains visible and is not forced into a favorable category.
• Qualification does not depend on inferred sensitive traits or an arbitrary status symbol.
• Changed definitions are disclosed before reporting a trend.

What to measure

Track unknown cases, reviewer disagreement and observed classification errors under each definition. Compare channels only with the same rule and eligible unit. A useful qualification definition supports a decision; it does not validate demand or forecast the signup’s future revenue.
