What's the methodology behind the score?

We weight four factors: asset utilisation rate, hook-to-performance ratio, feedback-loop maturity, and benchmark ROAS against category peers. Full methodology is included in the results PDF.

Is this just a sales pitch for New Jack?

No. The quick wins are actionable whether you work with us, another partner, or build in-house. We built this because we'd rather work with brands who already understand their numbers.

You're in the top 12% of brands we've audited. We'll still send the breakdown so you can identify the last 5–10 efficiency points most brands miss even at this level.
