The Operating Model

The first decision is structural: where measurement lives, what shape it takes, and who is accountable for what. Three placements are viable, each with tradeoffs.

Inside Marketing Ops

Natural home for most mid-market companies. Risk: marketing grading its own homework. Governance must include Finance regardless.

Inside Revops / Analytics

Stronger independence and cross-functional reach. Works when the central function is service-oriented, not bureaucratic.

Standalone CMO + CFO

The most mature placement. Encodes that measurement serves two masters: marketing decides, finance trusts.
