Before and after: real bullet rewrites
Changing the verb is the small half of the job. Every rewrite below also adds the scope, the number, or the constraint that makes the claim checkable — which is what the reader is scanning for in the six seconds they give the page.
BeforeMeasured campaign performance.
AfterInstrumented multi-touch attribution across 6 channels, revealing that paid search was taking credit for 40% of conversions that organic had originated — a $220K annual budget reallocation.
Why it works: Measurement bullets earn their place when the measurement changed where money went. This one names the amount.
