8. What’s going on?
Hypothesis (Based on Historical Data)
• Call to action didn’t focus on urgency of the issue
and our opponents
• Additionally, we’re facing a unique media & political
context creating a drumbeat about threats to the
country as a result of the growing federal debt

17. Final Thoughts
• Measuring is important but what you
measure is really important.
• No “one-size-fits-all” metrics for all
situations or organizations.
• Choose metrics that will give you the
information you need to meet your
specific organizational goals/mission.
