Binary Metric

UX Design

What is a Binary Metric

A Binary Metric is a measurement that has only two possible outcomes: success or failure, yes or no, completed or not completed. In UX research, it provides clear, unambiguous data about user interactions and task completion.

When to use Binary Metrics

Use binary metrics when you need to measure definitive outcomes such as:

  • Task completion success rates
  • Feature discovery
  • Navigation path accuracy

Benefits of Binary Metrics

Binary metrics provide clear, quantifiable data that's easy to analyze and compare. They eliminate ambiguity in measurement, simplify reporting, and make it easier to track improvements over time. Particularly valuable for A/B testing and conversion optimization.

How to implement Binary Metrics

Define clear success criteria, establish consistent measurement methods, and ensure proper tracking implementation. Combine with other metrics for a more comprehensive understanding of user behavior and experience.
