Important Definitions Threshold Response (TR): The TR is the number of times (positive or negative) a particular threshold is crossed within a given time period, multiplied by its weighted significance. Energy Contribution (EC): The EC is the value of energy contributed (positive or negative) between threshold crossings, multiplied by its weighted significance. © Design for Innovation Ltd, 2008-10 6 Game-Changing Analytics for Building Uncontested Business Models
