Cart recovery costs: What to count before you compare

Selected article findings, not the complete article.

Start with the actual costs for one reporting period, then ask how much additional contribution would cover them. Sales credited to a recovery message do not establish how many orders the message caused. The calculator keeps those questions separate: it totals entered charges and shows the break-even share under your stated contribution and leakage assumptions.

The model uses entered costs and a chosen additional-order share, with an equal contribution-mix assumption. Unknown costs prevent a complete total. A treatment/control group calculation is a point estimate and does not verify experiment design or statistical uncertainty.
