Overview
The Journey Scoring System helps merchants understand:
Which marketing automations are currently configured
How effectively journeys are set up
Which advanced capabilities are being utilized
What additional journeys or features can improve automation maturity
The system converts journey adoption and feature usage into a normalized store score out of 100.
This score acts as an operational maturity indicator for a merchant’s automation ecosystem.
Why Journey Scoring Exists
BIK supports 300+ journey types with advanced capabilities — AI-powered templates, AI Assistant blocks, smart retry logic, multi-channel orchestration, anonymous user recovery, and discount-based conversion optimization.
But in practice, most stores only scratch the surface.
Three patterns kept showing up:
1. The basics-only trap Most merchants set up a handful of standard journeys — abandoned cart, welcome series — and stop there. The advanced capabilities that drive meaningfully higher recovery and conversion rates (AI blocks, multi-channel fallbacks, smart retries) stay untouched. Not because they wouldn't help, but because there's no clear signal telling merchants they're leaving money on the table.
2. No way to know what "good" looks like Without a benchmark, merchants have no frame of reference for whether their automation setup is mature or minimal. A store running 3 basic journeys and a store running 15 optimised journeys with AI and fallbacks both just see "journeys are live." There's no feedback loop that says "here's what you're missing and here's what it could be worth."
3. Feature discovery is passive Advanced journey capabilities exist in the platform, but surfacing them depends on merchants exploring on their own or happening to read the right documentation. There's no structured, prioritised path that says "based on your current setup, this is the highest-impact thing to enable next."
Journey Scoring closes these gaps by giving every store a clear, quantified view of how well their automation setup uses the platform's full potential — and what to do next to improve it.
Core Value Proposition
The Journey Scoring System enables merchants to:
Understand which automations are currently active
Measure automation maturity using a standardized score
Discover missing journeys and missing features
Receive actionable recommendations
Incrementally improve automation setup over time
The scoring framework creates a unified automation health layer across all stores.

What Influences Store Score
The score is influenced by:
1. Journey Presence
Whether a merchant has configured important automation journeys.
Examples:
Abandon Cart
Welcome Journey
Price Drop
Back in Stock
Upsell
Cross-sell
2. Feature Adoption
Whether advanced monetization features are enabled.
Examples:
AI Template
AI Agent
Retry Logic
Multi-channel delivery
Anonymous User Recovery
Discount Blocks
Scoring Philosophy
The scoring system is intentionally non-linear.
Not all journeys contribute equally to revenue.
For example:
Abandon Cart recovery typically has much higher revenue impact than Anniversary reminders
AI-assisted journeys often outperform static messaging
Multi-channel orchestration generally increases recovery opportunities
Therefore, the scoring model prioritizes:
revenue influence
conversion probability
operational maturity
proven adoption patterns
Base Journey Scoring
Each journey has a predefined base score.
Examples:
Journey | Base Points |
Abandon Cart | 13 |
Product Viewed | 8 |
Welcome Journey | 5 |
Lead Generation | 3 |
Price Drop | 5 |
Higher-impact journeys receive larger base scores.
Feature Bonus Multipliers
Features add additional score multipliers on top of the base journey score.
Example feature multipliers:
Feature | Multiplier |
AI Template | 0.3 |
Anonymous User Recovery | 0.6 |
AI Agent | 0.7 |
Discount Block | 0.5 |
Retry Logic | 0.5 |
Multi-channel | 0.5 |
Journey Score Formula
A journey’s total score is calculated as:
Example:
If:
Abandon Cart base score = 13
AI Agent multiplier = 0.7
Then:
13×0.7=9.113 times 0.7 = 9.113×0.7=9.1
Feature contribution = 9.1 points.
Overall Store Score Formula
The store score is normalized across all applicable journeys.
Formula:
This ensures:
stores are compared fairly
score inflation is avoided
merchants see percentage maturity instead of raw points
Example — Why Adding AI Agent May Increase Score by Only 2%
Step 1 — abandonedCart Base Score
Metric | Value |
Base Journey Score | 13 |
AI Agent Multiplier | 0.7 |
Feature score:
13×0.7=9.113 times 0.7 = 9.113×0.7=9.1
Step 2 — Journey Total Before vs After
Before AI Agent
Components |
Base = 13 |
Multi-channel = 6.5 |
Discount = 5.2 |
Retry = 6.5 |
Total:
13+6.5+5.2+6.5=31.2
After AI Agent Added
31.2+9.1=40.3
Maximum Possible Score
Each trigger has a theoretical maximum.
Example:
Trigger | Base Score | Applicable Features | Maximum Score |
abandonedCart | 13 | ai_template + nitro + ai_agent + discount + retry_wa + multi_channel | 52.0 |
abandonedCheckout | 13 | ai_template + nitro + ai_agent + discount + retry_wa + multi_channel | 52.0 |

Total possible store score:
416.5
Store Score Before vs After
Before AI Agent
Metric | Value |
Total Achieved Score | 151.2 |
Maximum Possible Score | 416.5 |
Formula:
Store score = 36%
After AI Agent
Metric | Value |
Total Achieved Score | 160.3 |
Maximum Possible Score | 416.5 |
Formula:
Store score = 38%
Why the Increase Appears Small
Although the AI Agent added:
+9.1 points
The total ecosystem denominator is very large:
416.5
Therefore, a single feature improvement may move the overall store score by only a few percentage points.
This is expected behavior.
The scoring system rewards:
breadth of automation adoption
depth of feature utilization
long-term ecosystem maturity
rather than isolated feature additions.
Recommendation Engine
The scoring engine also powers recommendations.
Recommendations are generated when:
a high-value journey is missing
an advanced feature is absent
a journey is not multi-channel enabled
retry logic is not configured
AI capabilities are not enabled
Examples:
Missing Capability | Recommendation |
No Abandon Cart Journey | Create Abandon Cart Journey |
No AI Agent | Add AI Agent Block |
WhatsApp-only setup | Enable Multi-channel |
No Retry Logic | Configure Retry Strategy |
How Recommendations Work
The system:
Reviews all journeys configured in a merchant store
Detects enabled features
Calculates achieved score
Compares against possible score
Identifies missing journeys/features
Generates recommendations
Recalculates score impact
This creates a continuous optimization loop.
Journey Revenue Score UI
The merchant-facing dashboard displays:
current journey revenue score store level
recommended actions
missing capabilities
suggested journeys
activation opportunities
The UI helps merchants progressively improve automation maturity.
Important Disclaimer
The Journey Score is an indicative operational maturity metric.
It is based on:
historical merchant patterns
observed conversion trends
past automation performance
internal benchmarking
feature adoption studies
However:
the score does not guarantee revenue increase
point allocation is directional and heuristic-based
The scoring system should be interpreted as:
A recommendation and optimization framework — not a guaranteed revenue prediction engine.
