| N3 Proficient | Builds a dashboard per channel, checks the measurement setup and explains which campaign delivered which result. sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process |
| N5 Leading | Chooses the attribution model for the organisation, weighs its limitations and steers budget allocation on the outcomes. sets the standard and the policy · strategic, under high uncertainty · organisation, value chain or profession |
N2 and N4 are deliberately not anchored. Raters place them between the anchors, following the O*NET convention.
