SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Teams and clients often see numbers without understanding what they actually mean for performance or decision-making. This Skill turns opaque metrics into coaching-level explanations that clarify definitions, calculations, platform differences, common misinterpretations, and the likely causes of movement so stakeholders can act with confidence.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Layered explanations: Provides a plain-English definition, platform-specific formulas, contextual benchmarks, movement interpretation, and common pitfalls for each metric.
  • Platform-aware guidance: Notes differences across Instagram Feed, Stories, Facebook, and YouTube Shorts and adapts formulas and denominators accordingly.
  • Client-context integration: When available, references Sprinklr schema notes, vault signals (wins, corrections, threats), and pillar performance to ground explanations in client data.
  • Use cases: Diagnose why engagement rate fell month-over-month, teach a junior analyst what completion rate signals, or produce a one-paragraph explanation to include in a monthly report.

Quick Start

Explain what a 3.2% engagement rate on Instagram Feed means for a mid-market brand and whether that number indicates healthy performance.
