         │   Volume, coverage,   │
         │   speed, accuracy     │

Tier 1: Output Metrics

Metric Definition Target
Intelligence Volume # of intelligence items/month >50
Competitor Coverage % of competitors actively monitored 100%
Speed-to-Alert Time from event → published intel <4 hours
Accuracy Rate % of intel verified as accurate >95%

Tier 2: Activation Metrics

Metric Definition Target
Intel Adoption Rate % of target audience consuming CI >60%
Battle Card Usage % of competitive deals using battle cards >80%
Alert Response Rate % of alerts actioned within SLA >70%

CI ROI Calculation

CI ROI = (Revenue Impact − CI Program Cost) / CI Program Cost × 100%

Revenue Impact = (Deal Influence Revenue × 0.15)
                + Churn Prevention Revenue
                + Pricing Optimization Uplift

Example

Component Annual Value
CI Platform + Analyst + Data $65,000 cost
Deal Influence ($5M × 15%) $750,000
Churn Prevention $200,000
Pricing Optimization $150,000
Total Revenue Impact $1,100,000
CI ROI 1,592%
