# Incrementality Dashboard Explained

The incrementality dashboard houses 3 unique reports designed to help you see how much incremental value each partner contributes to your program, how removing partners could affect your incremental sales, and where opportunities exist to improve high-value partnerships. In this article, we will look to break down the 3 reports and give you a better understanding of how you might use them to drive program growth.

#### Why is it important to measure incrementality?

Seeing the last click in each customer journey isn’t enough. You need to know how each party contributed to the final purchase. Only analyzing the last touchpoint for each sale can skew the truth and misattribute which partners have made a considerable impact along the conversion path. Measuring partner and channel incrementality ensures that partners are correctly attributed, and optimizes performance.

#### Grading Scale

The grading scale shows you partner incrementality by percentage, from low (0%) to excellent (100%), and assigns colors to the percentages to show you how the conditional formatting of the 3 reports on the *Incrementality Dashboard* screen is determined.
