Metrics

Metrics are things that we can measure that hopefully correlate with the health of the party.

It has been suggested that first define goals; then the metrics come afterward. That helps avoid "Vanity" metrics.

Events
Events held by the PPCA in the past month; such as leafletting, tabling, attending protests. Probably best not to double-count as local meet-ups.

Estimate: 0

Media Response Time
Time to respond to media inquiries.

Needs improvement.

Active Members
Number of people who volunteered 1 hour of time for the Party in the last month (I will count meetings).

Estimate: 2

Party Funds

Confirmed Candidates
There may be a definition issue here: do we mean poeple who said they are willing to run, or Candidates confirmed by Elections Canada (which will only happen during elections)?

Consultation Submissions
Number of technical sumbissions sent to various governments departments in matters the affect Pirate Policy.

November 2012 - November 2013: 1

Unique Website Visitors
Not sure how such a metric would conflict with our miminal logging policy. Forum Posts Per day may be useful, but easy to game.
