Score Calculation
Campaign Health Score (0-100)
health_score = (
open_score * 0.25 +
reply_score * 0.35 +
deliverability_score * 0.25 +
trend_score * 0.15
)
Component Calculations:
open_score = normalize(open_rate, min=0, max=60)
60%+ open = 100 points
40% open = 67 points
20% open = 33 points
0% open = 0 points
reply_score = normalize(reply_rate, min=0, max=15)
15%+ reply = 100 points
10% reply = 67 points
5% reply = 33 points
0% reply = 0 points
deliverability_score = 100 - (bounce_rate * 10)
0% bounce = 100 points
5% bounce = 50 points
10% bounce = 0 points
trend_score = based on week-over-week change
+10% improvement = 100 points
Stable = 50 points
-10% decline = 0 points
Score Interpretation
| Score | Rating | Action Required |
|---|---|---|
| 90-100 | Excellent | Maintain, scale if possible |
| 75-89 | Good | Minor optimizations |
| 60-74 | Average | Address weak areas |
| 40-59 | Poor | Major revision needed |
| 0-39 | Critical | Pause and fix immediately |
