Mathematical Audit

Story Link Sticker CTR Optimization Formula

Applies position, CTA, and placement multipliers to current CTR for optimized projections.

Current CTR = (Link Clicks ÷ Story Views) × 100
Optimized CTR = Current CTR × Position Multiplier × CTA Multiplier × Placement Multiplier
Projected Clicks = Story Views × (Optimized CTR ÷ 100)
Click Lift = Projected Clicks − Current Clicks

Position multipliers: Top (0.85×), Center (1.15×), Bottom (0.95×). CTA adds 25% boost. Placement adjusts for optimal slide position in the story sequence.
