A manual worksheet for estimating the value of reach when the goal is not mass awareness, but the right people seeing the right thing often enough to start conversations.

This is built from Alexander's post pattern: a campaign moved toward niche virality, reach went down by 80%, inbound conversations went up 2.5x, and the campaign created 4 deals.

The point is simple: not all views have the same commercial value. A smaller audience can be worth more if it contains the buyers, partners, operators or creators who can actually move the business.

What this calculator helps you answer

<aside> 📁

• Whether a reach drop is actually bad
• Which audience segments are worth more than raw views
• How to connect views to inbound conversations
• How to estimate pipeline value from organic content
• How to compare mass reach against niche virality
• How to decide whether a content format is worth scaling </aside>

This is a manual calculator. You can run it in a spreadsheet, a Notion table, or a simple doc. The important part is the logic, not the tool.

The core idea

A campaign can lose total reach and still become more valuable.

That happens when the audience fit improves faster than the view count falls.

The common mistake is to value reach like this:

More views = better campaign.

A better model is:

Reach value = relevant audience reached x conversation rate x pipeline quality x deal economics.

The calculator below forces you to separate those pieces.

Step 1. Define the audience segments

Start by naming the audiences that matter commercially.
