## Key Metrics to Track

### Student-Level Metrics

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Current Balance">
    **What it shows**: How much currency each student currently has

    **What to look for**:

    * Students with zero balance may be disengaged
    * Very high balances may indicate fear of spending
    * Negative balances need immediate attention
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Total Earned">
    **What it shows**: Lifetime earnings for each student

    **What to look for**:

    * Low earners may need more opportunities
    * High earners are engaged - celebrate them!
    * Compare to class average
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Earning Rate">
    **What it shows**: Points per day/week average

    **What to look for**:

    * Declining trends may indicate loss of interest
    * Spikes show what motivates students
    * Consistency indicates healthy engagement
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Spending Behavior">
    **What it shows**: Saver vs spender classification

    **What to look for**:

    * Pure savers may need encouragement to enjoy rewards
    * Impulsive spenders may need budgeting lessons
    * Balanced students have healthy financial behavior
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### Classroom-Level Metrics

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Total Currency Circulation">
    **What it shows**: Sum of all student balances

    **Why it matters**:

    * Too high = inflation risk, adjust earning rates down
    * Too low = students feel poor, increase opportunities
    * Steady growth = healthy economy
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Transaction Volume">
    **What it shows**: Number of transactions per day/week

    **Why it matters**:

    * High volume = active engagement
    * Declining volume = loss of interest
    * Spikes show what activities work best
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Reward Popularity">
    **What it shows**: Which rewards are redeemed most

    **Why it matters**:

    * Popular rewards work - get more similar items
    * Unpopular rewards can be removed or repriced
    * Informs future reward decisions
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Average Balance">
    **What it shows**: Mean balance across all students

    **Why it matters**:

    * Rising average = students saving (good!)
    * Falling average = spending > earning (adjust)
    * Compare individual students to average
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Using Analytics Effectively

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Identify Students Needing Support" icon="hand-holding-heart">
    Use analytics to find students who need intervention:

    **Low Balance + Low Earning**:

    * Not engaged with system
    * May need different motivation
    * Consider one-on-one conversation
    * Create earn opportunities they can succeed at

    **High Earning but Zero Balance**:

    * Spending impulsively
    * May need budgeting lesson
    * Help set savings goals
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Adjust Pricing Strategy" icon="tag">
    Use demand data to optimize prices:

    **Reward never purchased**: Price too high or undesirable
    **Reward always sold out**: Price too low or very popular
    **Some students priced out**: Need more low-cost options
    **Everyone hoarding**: Make spending more appealing
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Celebrate Successes" icon="party-horn">
    Share positive trends:

    * "Class earned 5,000 points this week!"
    * "Everyone completed homework 10 days straight!"
    * "Record number of students reached savings goals!"

    Public recognition reinforces positive behavior
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Refine Teaching Strategy" icon="lightbulb">
    Learn from the data:

    * Which behaviors earn students the most? Do more of that!
    * What times are most active? Schedule important activities then
    * Are certain students never earning? Why? How can you help?
    * Is the economy too inflated or too restrictive? Adjust!
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Timezone for Analytics

<Info>
  Your **user profile timezone** (set in User Settings) controls how dates and times are displayed in analytics. This is separate from payment timezone!

  * **Profile Timezone**: For viewing analytics data
  * **Payment Timezone**: For when automated payments occur
