Correct answer & explanation
✓
Review the Calculated Insight SQL query logic, aggregation filters, and date boundaries to ensure profiles are not being inadvertently filtered out.
When segment counts using CIs are lower than expected, the consultant should check the CI's publication status, verify the date ranges or aggregation filters in the CI SQL, and review the join conditions between the CI and the Individual DMO.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Change the activation target connector type.
Why it's wrong here
Activation targets dictate export destinations, not segment audience sizing calculations.
- ✗
Switch the segment type from batch to streaming.
Why it's wrong here
Streaming segments cannot use Calculated Insights in this manner, and switching types does not fix underlying logic issues in CI calculations.
- ✓
Review the Calculated Insight SQL query logic, aggregation filters, and date boundaries to ensure profiles are not being inadvertently filtered out.
Why this is correct
Checking the CI query logic and filters helps identify if restrictive criteria or incorrect date windows caused fewer profiles to meet the threshold.
- ✗
Double the number of Data Streams in the tenant.
Why it's wrong here
Adding data streams does not correct logical filtering issues in Calculated Insights.
