<b>Throughput Ratio Tracking</b>

<b>Throughput Ratio Tracking</b>
Manage the funnel by ratios, not vibes. Track four numbers per batch.
1 — Links checked → dead found (find rate).
2 — Dead found → score-2 qualified (qualify rate).
3 — Qualified → outreach sent (send rate).
4 — Sent → link placed (close rate).
5 — Trigger: close rate under 5%? Audit anchor relevance, not your email copy.
6 — Trigger: qualify rate under 10%? Your source domains are too off-topic.
Automation fits at steps 1-3 — log each transition automatically as items move stages.
<i>Definition of done:</i> all four ratios logged for the batch, with any sub-threshold ratio flagged to a specific upstream stage.
