Summary of Findings
| Measure | Effect size | n | Value | p |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cancellation rate | Omega squared, 0 or 1 flag | 150 engagements | −0.005 | 0.583 |
| Customer satisfaction | Omega squared | 94 engagements | −0.010 | 0.828 |
| Engagement indicator mean | Omega squared | 150 engagements | −0.006 | 0.795 |
| Intent to leave | Omega squared | 150 engagements | −0.006 | 0.678 |
Engagements split almost evenly between LOB Operational (76 of 150 engagements, 50.67%) and Corporate Functional (74 of 150 engagements, 49.33%) work. Cancellation was higher on LOB Operational engagements (39.47% canceled, n = 76 engagements) than on Corporate Functional engagements (35.14% canceled, n = 74 engagements), with no difference under test (chi-square 0.30, p 0.583, Cramer’s V 0.04, n = 150 engagements). Customer satisfaction on active engagements was close for LOB Operational (mean 63.8, n = 46 engagements) and Corporate Functional (mean 64.4, n = 48 engagements) engagements, with no difference under test (Welch F 0.05, p 0.828, omega squared −0.010, n = 94 engagements). The engagement indicator mean did not differ between the two classes of work (Welch F 0.07, p 0.795, omega squared −0.006, n = 150 engagements). Intent to leave did not differ between them either (Welch F 0.17, p 0.678, omega squared −0.006, n = 150 engagements). The class of work split differed after Holm control by process family (chi-square 62.13, Holm p < 0.001, Cramer’s V 0.71).
Distribution of Recorded Values
| Answer | Engagements | Share of answered (base 150) | Cumulative share | Engagements with at least one | Share of 150 engagements | Distressed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LOB Operational | 76 | 50.67% | 50.67% | Not applicable, engagement level | Not applicable, engagement level | Not applicable |
| Corporate Functional | 74 | 49.33% | 100.00% | Not applicable, engagement level | Not applicable, engagement level | Not applicable |
| Answered, total | 150 | 100.00% | Not applicable, engagement level | Not applicable, engagement level |
The value was recorded once per engagement, so every share counts out of 150 engagements.
Distressed is not applicable, because the answer has no good or bad end on a scale.

| Engagement status and lifecycle stage | Engagement | 3.88 | 3 | 0.274 | 0.549 | 0.16 | chi-square | None |
Engagement families were tested on engagement answers, and respondent role and vendor type were tested on respondents. Process family differed in the answer mix after Holm control (chi-square 62.13, Holm p < 0.001, Cramer’s V 0.71). No difference held after Holm control for outsourcing model, institution type and engagement status and lifecycle stage.
Association with Cancellation Rate
The share of engagements canceled on the study date, measured at engagement level (base 150 engagements, 56 canceled). The association is a descriptive contrast, inflated because canceled engagements were rated after cancellation, and is not predictive.
The measure by the engagement’s recorded answer.
| Answer level | Engagements | Canceled | Cancellation rate |

| Corporate Functional | 74 | 26 | 35.14% |

Association with Customer Satisfaction
The satisfaction score recorded against each engagement on a 100-point scale. The primary estimate uses the 94 active engagements. A descriptive contrast uses all 150 engagements.
The measure by the engagement’s recorded answer.

Association with Intent to Leave
The respondent’s stated likelihood of leaving the current job within 12 months, rated 1 to 10 (C019). Measured at respondent level on up to 798 respondents, with the engagement-level form reported alongside.

Comparison of Associations Across the Four Measures
| Measure | Effect size | n | Value | p | Equivalent to zero | Rank among the four |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cancellation rate | Omega squared, 0 or 1 flag | 150 | −0.005 | 0.583 | Yes | 1 |
| Customer satisfaction | Omega squared | 94 | −0.010 | 0.828 | Yes | 4 |
| Engagement indicator mean | Omega squared | 150 | −0.006 | 0.795 | Yes | 3 |
| Intent to leave | Omega squared | 150 | −0.006 | 0.678 | Yes | 2 |
Steiger’s z compares two correlations, and a categorical answer yields an effect size across levels rather than a correlation, so the pairs are not tested.
Clustering and Effective Sample Size
Not applicable. The field was recorded once per engagement, so every respondent in an engagement shared one value.
Equivalence Tests of Null Results
| Measure | n | Omega squared | Equivalence bound | Equivalence p | Equivalent to zero | Achieved power | MDE at power 0.80 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cancellation rate | 150 | −0.005 | Omega squared < 0.090 | < 0.001 | Yes | 0.97 | 0.050 |
| Customer satisfaction | 94 | −0.010 | Omega squared < 0.090 | 0.002 | Yes | 0.85 | 0.079 |
| Engagement indicator mean | 150 | −0.006 | Omega squared < 0.090 | < 0.001 | Yes | 0.97 | 0.050 |
| Intent to leave | 150 | −0.006 | Omega squared < 0.090 | < 0.001 | Yes | 0.97 | 0.050 |
The bound is the ruled |r| < 0.30 expressed as variance explained (V15-R22). Equivalent to zero: cancellation rate, customer satisfaction, engagement indicator mean and intent to leave.
Robustness Checks
| Check | Measure | Primary p | Check p | Check statistic | Conclusion holds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kruskal-Wallis in place of Welch F | Customer satisfaction | 0.828 | 0.829 | 0.05 | Yes |
| Kruskal-Wallis in place of Welch F | Engagement indicator mean | 0.795 | 0.693 | 0.16 | Yes |
| Kruskal-Wallis in place of Welch F | Intent to leave | 0.678 | 0.916 | 0.01 | Yes |
| Active engagements only | Engagement indicator mean | 0.795 | 0.848 | 0.04 | Yes |
| Active engagements only | Intent to leave | 0.678 | 0.936 | 0.01 | Yes |
Every check held. A check holds when its test lands on the same side of 0.05 as the primary test.
Measure Independence and Part-Whole Correction
Each of the four measures was computed from data this indicator does not contain, so each result is a finding rather than an arithmetic consequence.
Comparison with the Study Norm
Not applicable. A categorical field has no signed correlation, so it has no profile. Its per-level means carry the comparison.
Interpretation of the Data
Class of work showed no difference on any of the four study measures. Every robustness check run on this field held (5 of 5 checks). The field lined up with process family (chi-square 62.13, Holm p < 0.001, Cramer’s V 0.71).
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 |
|---|---|
| Response scale | As recorded, shown in Table 1. The indicator is not a rating, so no distressed range is defined. |
| Answering base | The engagements on which the value is recorded. |
| Non-answers | None. The value is recorded for every engagement. |
| Indicator class | Engagement attribute: a property of the engagement rather than of the respondent. |
| 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. |
| Engagement indicator mean | The mean of an engagement’s 100 indicator ratings. |
