OWS measures monthly ‘General Performance’ in three ways.
Awareness.
Measures how aware a minimally passive audience is of OWS.
Onboarding
Measures howmuch of that passive audience becomes an active audience.
Engagement
Measures the opportunities that OWS offers to that active audience.
👁🗨 Awareness.
This subsection will measure the exposure of OWS’s social media channels and website, trying to capture how aware a minimally passive audience is.
Monthly Summary
*As expected from last months report, numbers are beginning to bounce back, seeing increases in exposure at levels that no longer include short sighted contributors. While the marketing strategy execution was postponed to April, we are already seeing a healthy recovery from the elimination of the rolling opportunities last month. Especially from YouTube and Medium, which have seen a considerable increase in impressions.*
🎙 Social Media
In the Dashboard below, monthly metrics about all OWS social media channels are shown.
Discord.
Members 🔼 19%
Total Discord Members (4465) | Month (March)

*We have removed the ‘announcement’ metric due to the removal of the weekly AMAs as part of our operations - making this metric less relevant.*
The 👁🗨 Awareness section has shown how OWS exposes itself to a minimally passive audience to gain their awareness in two main ways:
🎙 Social Media
🖥 Website
👥 Onboarding
‘Onboarding’ measures three main steps.
The first stepis measuring the 🧲 Incubation of a passive (but aware from social media) audience becoming an active audience: from Discord members to Contributors.
The second step is measuring the ⚓️ Retention of those contributors as actively collaborating within OWS.
The third step is measuring the 🪙 Conversion of how many of those actively collaborating get rewarded by OWS for completing project opportunities.
🧲 Incubation.
‘Incubation’ measures increases of active contributors.
New Discord Members Becoming Contributors = 6%
New Contributors (57) / New Discord Members (936) = 0.06
This measures the passive social media audience making the first step toward becoming part of an active audience: becoming a contributor.
*The reason for the low percentage is due to our shift in focus to quality rather than quantity.*
Total Number of Contributors 🔼 6%
total number of Contributors (1103) | Month (March)
‘Retention’ measures the collaborative output of active contributors.
Approved Proposals
Total Approved Proposals (18) | Month (March)
This measures the total number of reward proposals that OWS approves to contributors, showing full engagement.
🪙 Conversion.
‘Conversion’ measures the monthly collaborative activity (Project and OWS Opportunities) completed by newcomers.
New Contributors Submitting a Proposal = 0%
New Contributors Submitting a Proposal (0) / New Contributors (18) = 0
This measures the potentially collaborative audience becoming both active and collaborative.
*The reason for the low percentage is still due to the removal of the rolling opportunities: increasing the barrier for entry for Discord members due to a decrease in low-skilled opportunities. We hope this will have a delayed gain of more high-skilled and engaged contributors, when new low-skilled contributors have OWS Education, the Mentorship Program and our general support at their disposal.*
Average Reward per proposal = $868
This measure the average reward for contributors for the month of March.
The 👥 Onboarding section has shown how OWS measures onboarding success by dividing the process into three steps:
🧲 Incubation measures how OWS does at attracting new members.
⚓️ Retention measures how OWS does at engaging those members.
🪙 Conversion measures how OWS does at rewarding those members.
⚒ Engagement.
This subsection will look at OWS’s engagement metrics for all OWS organised activities and opportunities.

*Note that this is not the total number of views for the videos in the playlist (this is not possible), but it is the number of times that the playlist was clicked on youtube.*
*Weekly AMAs have been stopped. This is due to a change in focus for OWS toward growing our contributor base and project relationships. OWS reached a decision that the time and effort dedicated to AMAs was not justifiable once the new OWS direction was implemented (as of the second week of March).*
