# Engagement

> Measuring impact across key metrics

<Tip>
  The **Engagement** page provides a consolidated view of Auxia's overall impact on key user behaviors and metrics. Unlike the **Interactions** and **Adoptions** dashboards, which highlight the relative impact across different treatments, this dashboard focuses on the **total effect** of running Auxia across your organization's most important KPIs—such as **target actions** (e.g., "purchase completed") and **guardrail metrics** (e.g., "item likes", "items saved").

## Data Structure

The Engagement dashboard contains the following columns:

| **Column**                       | **Description**                                                                                                                             |
| -------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Event**                        | The specific user action ingested from your data sources.                                                                                   |
| **(Treated) Activity Count**     | The total number of times users in the **treated group** performed the event. A treated user is one who has received a response from Auxia. |
| **(Control) Actual Count**       | The total number of times users in the **control group** performed the event. A control user has not received any response from Auxia.      |
| **(Control) Normalized Count**   | The control count adjusted for group size imbalance: *Control Actual Count × (Treated Group Size / Control Group Size)*.                    |
| **(Impact) Incremental Actions** | The difference between treated activity count and normalized control count.                                                                 |
| **(Impact) Uplift vs. Control**  | The percentage increase of treated over normalized control: *(Incremental Actions ÷ Normalized Control Count) × 100*.                       |

## Computation Logic

The Engagement dashboard computes daily aggregates of the number of events that occurred during the specified time period in the date range.

## Key Attribution Rules

* **Daily Aggregation:** The dashboard reports **daily aggregates** of each event during the selected date range.The diagram below highlights an example of how the daily aggregates are computed.

* **Group Attribution:**
  * The user activities are attributed only after a user receives a **first Auxia response of the day.**
    * **Example:** If a user's first treatment occurs at 1:00 PM on January 12, all activities from 1:00 PM on January 12 through the next 13 days are attributed to that treatment.
    * If the user's next treatment is on January 27, any activities between the end of the 13-day window (after January 25) and the time of the January 27 treatment are **not** attributed to Auxia.
  * Users are classified as **treated** or **control** based on the experiment setup.

* **Treated group user:** The Engagement dashboard only counts events that occurred if a user received a treatment less than 14 days before.

* **Control group user:** The dashboard only counts events that occurred if the user did not receive a treatment during the last 14 days.

* **Arm Traffic Change:**
  * If the experiment's segmentation changes (e.g., new arm, traffic of arm change), those changes do **not take effect immediately**.
  * Instead, a **13-day buffer period** is enforced.
  * During this period, users continue to be counted under their **original group**.

* **Event Counting Rule:**
  * Events are counted **only after** the user receives their **first Auxia response of the day**.
  * For example: if a user receives their first response at **12:00 PM on January 1**, only events occurring **after 12:00 PM** on that day will be counted.
