Agree the baseline first
Cycle time, touch rate, and forecast error are useful only when the current number is written down. Without that, a later percentage has nothing honest to stand on.
Aurneon treats return as an objective of the engagement. Publishing a guaranteed delta before the work starts is a claim the brand does not make.
Review is part of the design
On a cadence, the live signal is compared with the baseline. What improved, what did not, and what should be stopped stay visible to the people who operate the system.
