Analytics Instrumentation Strategy
Restored data trust on a 50M+ user streaming platform by tracing a year-long measurement defect to root cause and standardizing the measurement framework across product features.
Problem
Executive reporting on live video performance was unreliable due to year-over-year inconsistencies that went unresolved for over 12 months. This created low confidence in reporting and limited the ability to make data-driven product and business decisions.
Insight
- The inconsistency was caused by a hidden implementation bug in live video tracking that had persisted for over a year.
- Tagging and data pipelines were not aligned to a consistent measurement framework, creating gaps across platforms and features.
- Without fixing the foundation, reporting would continue to degrade as new features launched.
Action
- Traced end-to-end data flow and validated implementation against the tagging architecture.
- Identified and resolved the root cause of a year-long live video tracking defect.
- Led a cross-functional fix across engineering, analytics, and QA.
- Owned analytics strategy and instrumentation across core product features, including purchase flows, subscription cancellation, and community chat.
- Built and standardized the measurement framework across web and mobile experiences.
Impact
- +13% reporting accuracy, closing the 12-month measurement defect.
- Established a reliable measurement program for a 50M+ user sports streaming platform.
- Enabled consistent, scalable tracking across product experiences.
- Increased confidence in product, marketing, and ad sales decision-making.
