Problem

You are evaluating a growth experiment in a B2B business with a long sales cycle. The challenge is deciding how to judge success when revenue takes months to close and early funnel movement may not reflect true business impact.

Context

The experiment may improve top-of-funnel conversion, but it could also change lead quality, sales workload, or downstream close rates. You need a framework for weighing short-term signals against long-term revenue outcomes.

Question

How would you think about the trade-offs in a long B2B sales cycle when evaluating a growth experiment?
