# Finance Benchmark Partner Analysis

The Finance Benchmark Partner Analysis report shows you how your partners have performed in terms of clicks, actions, revenue, and payout over the selected quarter and rank them according to how they’ve performed for your program vs your peers. The report also shows gaps and opportunities in your program where growth is available and where you may have over-or under-indexed in different performance metrics.

| Funnel Stage | <p>Select whether you want to view the top or bottom of the funnel.</p><p>• <strong>Initial Action</strong> limits the data to partners who introduce the potential customer to the conversion journey. At this point, money has not generally been exchanged and any payouts granted to the partner will be relatively small.</p><p>• <strong>Final Action</strong> limits the data to partners who are achieving your desired end goal. Generally, this involves the exchange of money, e.g., funds deposited into an account or a loan or credit card issued. Payouts to a partner are generally expected to be larger.</p> |

<summary>Rank differences</summary>

The *rank difference* can indicate opportunities to work more closely with your partners or reveal partners who are performing better for your brand than for the segment.

**Example 1**

Noah Lott Tutors has a program rank of 2—they're your second highest performing partner. Their rank in your segment is 26. The rank difference of 24 shows that they are performing significantly better for you than for the overall segment.

**Example 2**

Moneyball.com is ranked 18 in your program, but 3 in your segment. Because Moneyball.com is highly ranked in your segment, you could consider ways to increase your level of partnership with them.
