Average Session Duration measures the average amount of time users spend per session on your website. It is calculated by dividing the total time spent across all sessions by the total number of sessions. This metric helps you understand overall engagement and whether users are consuming your content in a meaningful way.

Average Speed to Answer (ASA) is the average time a call centre agent takes to answer an inbound customer call, including queue wait time but excluding IVR navigation time. ASA is one of the most important signals tied to customer satisfaction in contact centre operations.

Average Time on Page is a web analytics metric that measures the average time all users spend on a single page, excluding exit pages and bounces. Exit pages are the last pages in a session; bounces are single-page sessions. Because the metric excludes these, it reflects only engaged, multi-page visits.

Backorder rate is the percentage of customer orders that cannot be fulfilled immediately because the requested item is out of stock but expected to be available. It measures how well inventory keeps pace with demand and signals gaps in forecasting, replenishment, or supplier reliability.

Base Net Burn is your Net Burn minus variable customer acquisition costs (CAC). It isolates the operational burn your business carries independent of growth investment, showing whether the business could survive without growth spending.

The Bed Occupancy Rate is a fundamental metric in healthcare management that measures the percentage of staffed hospital beds that are in use over a specific period of time. It is an essential indicator of a hospital's efficiency and capacity. A higher rate indicates a greater utilization of available beds. While there is no single benchmark for an "ideal" rate, it must be balanced to ensure a hospital is efficiently using its resources without becoming so full that it cannot accommodate new patients or handle unexpected surges in demand.

Bessemer Efficiency Score is a measure of capital efficiency that tracks net new ARR against net burn for a given period. This metric showcases the incremental ARR dollars added for every dollar of burn, effectively measuring a company’s spending habits.

In an hour-based agency, the billable utilisation serves as a crucial metric, representing the percentage of billable hours employees spend on billable client projects. A higher billable utilisation indicates optimal efficiency and resource allocation, while a lower rate may suggest under-utilisation or potential areas for workflow improvement.

Blended CAC Ratio is the total sales and marketing spend required to acquire both new and expansion annual recurring revenue (ARR) in the same period. Unlike narrower CAC measures that focus only on new customer acquisition, Blended CAC Ratio accounts for all sales and marketing costs tied to both new customers and expansion revenue from existing ones. This gives SaaS companies a complete picture of what it costs to grow revenue, not just land it.

Bookings is a key sales metric that is calculated by taking the total dollar value, including subscription, implementation, and discounts, that a customer has committed to spend for a product or service within a specified period.

Burn Multiple is a capital efficiency metric that measures how many dollars a startup burns (spends) to generate each dollar of net new Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR). Calculated as Net Burn divided by Net New ARR, this metric evaluates the cost-effectiveness of revenue growth. A higher Burn Multiple indicates the company is spending more capital per dollar of growth, while a lower Burn Multiple indicates more efficient, capital-efficient growth.

Burn Rate is the speed at which a company spends its cash reserves, typically measured monthly or as a percentage change in net spending. Startups use it to monitor how quickly they draw down external funding, estimate cash runway, and prepare for future fundraising. It can be calculated as Gross Burn Rate or Net Burn Rate.
