↺Success creates the next objective
The line of sight. If you can't connect the action to the outcome, you can't prove the value of Customer Success.

Now the activity has meaning.
Activity without attribution is noise.
Action → Progress → Outcome → Value → Growth· Figures are illustrative.
More customer activity doesn't always create more customer success.
It's easy to measure what customers do without knowing what those actions are helping them achieve. The craft is connecting the two.
