Option Attach Rate at 35% target option attach rate: a worked example

Push target option attach rate up to 35% and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. tracking option adoption and demand signals

The inputs for this scenario

  • Configured orders that selected this option: 138 orders (unchanged)
  • Eligible configured orders in the period: 520 orders (unchanged)
  • Target option attach rate: 35 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 30)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Option Attach Rate = configured orders with the option selected ÷ eligible configured orders × 100) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 26.54 % for option attach rate, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 8.46 points for option attach rate gap to target.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 138 count for configured orders with the option selected.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 520 count for eligible configured orders.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where target option attach rate sits at 30% and the headline result is 26.54 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 26.54 %.
  • It computes the percentage of eligible configured orders that selected a given option and the point gap to your target attach rate. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.

Results at a glance

  • option attach rate: 26.54 % (headline result)
