Days 1 to 30: adoption
Track invited contributors, active contributors, posts generated, posts copied, and employees who come back the next week. This tells you whether the workflow is acceptable.
Days 31 to 60: quality
Track comments from relevant people, saves, profile visits, and which themes create real conversations. This separates useful content from empty reach.
Days 61 to 90: business signal
Track demo intent, inbound conversations, hiring conversations, sales replies, and assisted pipeline notes. Do this after the habit exists, not before.
The KPI stack to avoid
Avoid starting with vanity reach, impressions, or leaderboard pressure. These metrics can punish new contributors before they trust the workflow. Use them after adoption and content quality are visible.
