Before pulling data, document what the campaign was supposed to achieve. Capture target audience, offer, channels, budget, expected outcomes, campaign dates, funnel stage, and success metrics. Most post-mortems fail because teams judge campaigns against vague expectations after the fact.
A campaign context brief with goals, assumptions, and success criteria.
