Can you demonstrate cost-per-enrolled-start for this partner, today?
The optimizer on the first tab is honest only if the partner can actually show the enrolled-start number: your media records joined to the partner's SIS enrollment confirmations. In a fee-for-service OPM the partner owns that data, not you. So before optimizing anything, you read the join. This console takes a handful of yes/no facts about one partner and returns the verdict: demonstrate now, demonstrate with a gap, or fix the data first. Nothing here is partner data; the toggles are structural facts you already know.
A partner you know: one click sets the facts
The five facts that decide it
Each fact is a yes/no you already know about a partner. Flip any toggle and the verdict above re-runs. The two facts marked GATING are the ones that, absent, make a cost-per-enrolled-start claim dishonest, no matter the other three.
Why these five
The structural fact: in a fee-for-service OPM the university partner owns the enrollment P&L and the SIS that records enrolled starts; iDesign owns the service contract. So demonstrating cost-per-enrolled-start is a data-join across two parties, and the partner controls the half that confirms the outcome. This is the iDesign-specific subtlety a single degree-granting school does not have.
The two gating facts: a shared join key (so a learner who inquired through your campaign can be matched to the partner's enrollment record) and SIS confirmation access (so the enrolled start is observed, not assumed). Without both, the cost-per-enrolled-start number is asserted, not shown, which is exactly the inquiry-scorecard trap one layer up.
The honest path: when the join is absent, the first deliverable is not the optimizer; it is the partner-data-sharing scope that makes the optimizer honest. Selling the optimizer into a partner that cannot show enrolled starts would be selling the inquiry metric in a nicer wrapper.
No real numbers here: the inputs are structural yes/no facts. No partner data, no enrollment figures, nothing typed leaves this page.
