Metric definitions
A rate becomes useful only when the firm uses the same event definition and eligible population across periods. Document those rules before treating a change as improvement or decline.
The share of eligible inquiries acknowledged inside the firm's configured target. Define operating hours, channels, exclusions, and the qualifying acknowledgement before comparing periods.
The share of inquiries that reached two-way contact with an authorized team member. An automated acknowledgement, voicemail, or one-way message does not count by itself.
The share of meaningful contacts that produced a scheduled consultation or the firm's equivalent approved review step.
The share of scheduled consultations that actually occurred. Rescheduled appointments should follow one consistent policy across every period.
The share of completed consultations that became retained matters under the firm's engagement requirements—not merely matters marked likely or verbally accepted.
The share of all eligible inquiries that completed the retained-matter path. Use it with stage metrics so a single percentage does not hide where work is leaking.
Funnel audit
Start with a week or month whose activity is complete enough to audit. Keep the same time zone and inclusion rules throughout.
Compare website, phone, referral, campaign, chat, and walk-in receipts against created intake records so missing inquiries do not vanish before the funnel begins.
Use timestamps and completed activity for acknowledgement, meaningful contact, consultations, and engagement. A current status alone may not prove the event happened.
Review a sample of records from the largest numerical loss, categorize the operational causes, and choose one control to improve in the next period.
Trend the measures over time and segment only when volume supports a useful comparison—such as by source, shift, owner, or case-type path.
What not to infer
A higher or lower rate does not establish whether the firm made the right legal, conflict, qualification, referral, or representation decision. Review records and authorized dispositions before interpreting the numbers.
