Normalized terminology for portfolio GTM architecture. Tight, hierarchical, unambiguous. Every term used across Screens 01–03 is defined here exactly once.
| Legacy Term | Normalized Term | Why |
|---|---|---|
| MQL | Qualified Account Signal (or eliminate) | MQL conflates lead with account, individual with committee |
| Funnel (blended) | Stage Ledger + Swim Lanes | One funnel hides mode-specific conversion and CAC variance |
| Attribution (credit-based) | Influence Mapping → Weight Calibration | Credit ≠ causality. Attribution feeds learning, not budget |
| Awareness | Conditioning | Awareness implies passive. Conditioning implies deliberate probability building |
| Demand Gen | Revenue Development | Demand gen implies top-of-funnel only. Revenue development spans full lifecycle |
| Lead | Account Signal | Individual leads misrepresent buying committee dynamics |
| CPL | Cohorted Segment CAC | CPL without intent normalization is meaningless. CAC by segment is actionable |
| ROI (campaign-level) | Lift vs Baseline + Learning Latency | Campaign ROI ignores mode, segment, and time-to-validated-lift |
