Promise Health

Promise Health Dashboard

Monitor and improve your promise-keeping performance — cancellations, backorders, and late/partial fulfillment. See what's breaking, why it's happening, and what it's costing you.

What is Promise Health?

Commerce runs on promises: "In stock." "Delivers by Friday." "Ready for pickup."

When those promises break, you don't just lose an order — you lose trust, time, and margin.

Promise Health makes promise-keeping measurable with:

  • A Promise Integrity Score (0-100)
  • The drivers behind breakage
  • A benchmark against peers
  • An impact estimate that quantifies leakage

Key Metrics Explained

Promise Integrity Score

A 0–100 score based on weighted promise breaks over your selected window. Higher is better. Severe events (cancellations, hard backorders, late/partial) weigh more than minor issues.

Total Promises

Number of orders observed in this window. Each order represents a customer promise (availability, delivery, or pickup expectation).

Broken Rate

Weighted promise breaks per promise. Severity-adjusted: high-impact events count more than low-impact events.

Urgent Miss Rate

Percentage of urgency-tagged orders that missed their stated deadline. This requires urgency tagging (e.g., gift/life-event deadline) to be enabled.

Dashboard Tabs

Top Drivers

What's breaking? The biggest contributors to promise breaks in this window.

Cancellations

Orders canceled after confirmation — high trust and margin damage.

Backorders

Items sold without reliable availability — a leading indicator of inventory promise issues.

Late / Partial

Partial shipments or late fulfillment that trigger repeat contacts, refunds, or churn risk.

Support Cost

Estimated support burden driven by disappointment events. Modeled using your assumptions.

Playbooks

What do I do next? Actionable recommendations based on your top drivers.

Each playbook shows why it matters and provides recommended actions. You can:

  • Mark as Adopted — We'll track your score and trends after this change
  • Create Task — Send this playbook to your team
  • Request Slack Approval — Route exception approvals into Slack
Trends

Disappointment trends over time. Track promise breaks by severity and driver.

Events Over Time: Promise breaks by severity (low/med/high)

Driver Distribution: Which drivers dominate your breakage profile

Severity Guide: High = strongest trust/margin damage • Medium = meaningful operational friction • Low = minor but worth reducing at scale

Benchmark

How do you compare? Compare your promise health to similar merchants (privacy-safe cohorts).

Your position shows whether you're in the Top Quartile, Above Median, Below Median, or Bottom Quartile.

Privacy Note: We publish cohort benchmarks only when 30+ similar merchants exist. This protects privacy and keeps benchmarks statistically meaningful.

Impact

What's this costing you? Estimated revenue impact from promise breaks (30-day window).

Estimated Monthly Loss: Leakage from cancellations, backorders, promise breaks, and support

Potential Savings: If playbooks reduce breaks by your expected reduction %

Annual Savings Potential: Projected yearly savings based on current trend

Assumptions: You can edit GM%, Support cost/ticket, Tickets/disappointment, and Expected reduction to better match your business.
