Summary of Findings
The four study measures moved together across the engagements studied (n = 150 engagements). The first principal component carried most of their shared variance (first component share 0.88). Cancellation and customer satisfaction formed the strongest pair (r = −0.94, 95% CI −0.96 to −0.92), and cancellation and the engagement indicator mean formed the weakest (r = −0.72, 95% CI −0.79 to −0.63). Cancellation rose with intent to leave (r = 0.80, 95% CI 0.74 to 0.85), and customer satisfaction fell as intent to leave rose (r = −0.90, 95% CI −0.92 to −0.86). The engagement indicator mean rose with customer satisfaction (r = 0.85, 95% CI 0.80 to 0.89) and fell as intent to leave rose (r = −0.84, 95% CI −0.88 to −0.78). Customer satisfaction loaded most heavily on the first component (0.98), and the engagement indicator mean loaded least heavily (0.91).

Interpretation of the Data
The four measures behaved largely as one shared reading of each engagement in this study set (first component share 0.88). Cancellation and customer satisfaction shared the most variance of any pair (R squared 0.88). The engagement indicator mean and cancellation shared the least (R squared 0.52).
Limitations
The evidence is reported experience: what the delivery team said about its own engagement, gathered in one cross-section. The figures showed associations, not causes. Indicators about the financial institution were reported at second hand by vendor staff. Cancellation is a descriptive contrast, because canceled engagements were rated after they ended.
No limit applied beyond the standing limits of this block.
Definitions
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Indicator class | Derived from other indicators: computed by the study from other recorded fields, as Analysis Results sets out. |
| Failure category | One of the five failure categories of the Study Taxonomy, section 3. Only the 100 rated indicators carry one, and the indicator is not among them. |
| Direction | Each result is read in the direction of the measure it reports. |
| Engagement indicator mean | The mean of an engagement’s 100 indicator ratings. |
