Example

A media company uses Scoring Framework to get predictions about the likelihood of prospects converting into subscribers. The media company’s Salesforce admin defines a custom target variable that defines prospects’ conversion into subscribers. The admin adds conditions to define that all the opportunities that have related accounts can be considered as a conversion.
