Chrome extension permission metrics

Chrome extension permission metrics should prove that users understand why TypeToSell needs supported-site access and what the extension does with it. The strongest metrics are Chrome permission comprehension, visible composer context recognition, user-triggered generation, selected editable insertion, privacy-link engagement, no social OAuth confusion, no private-message concern escalation, and manual final posting clarity.

Last updated: 2026-07-11. These are rollout metrics, not customer outcome claims.

Measurement purpose

What this metric set should prove

Use these metrics before changing install pages, Chrome Web Store copy, permission explanations, or support answers. The goal is to measure whether permission language creates informed trust around the visible public reply workflow instead of vague reassurance, hidden account-control assumptions, or unsupported install confidence.

Core metrics

Which events should be measured?

Permission comprehension rate

Shows whether users can explain that supported-site access helps TypeToSell show the extension, read visible composer context after user action, and insert selected editable drafts.

Suggested event: chrome_permission_comprehension_confirmed

Visible context recognition

Measures whether users understand that drafting relies on visible or user-provided context rather than hidden inbox monitoring or private-message access.

Suggested event: visible_context_boundary_understood

Selected insertion completion

Confirms that the user chooses a draft and receives editable text in the composer without TypeToSell pressing the final platform button.

Suggested event: chrome_selected_draft_inserted

Permission source engagement

Tracks whether cautious users open privacy, browser permission, and no-auto-posting explanations before or after install intent.

Suggested event: chrome_permission_source_clicked

Leading indicators

What should move before roadmap priority changes?

Install anxiety is specific

Questions mention host access, visible composer scope, insertion, privacy, or social credentials instead of broad distrust that copy cannot answer.

Permission pages are nearby

Install-adjacent CTAs, Chrome Web Store support links, answer pages, and AI citation files route users to the same permission boundary.

No OAuth expectation appears

Users should not expect TypeToSell to require X, Reddit, or Facebook OAuth for the core visible-composer drafting workflow.

Manual posting stays understood

Users should understand that the extension inserts or copies selected text while the final Reply, Post, or Comment remains manual.

Decision rules

How should these metrics guide the roadmap?

Pass when users can restate scope

Permission copy can scale when users describe supported-site access, visible composer context, selected insertion, and manual posting in their own words.

Rewrite vague trust language

If users only remember that the extension is safe, add concrete permission purpose, privacy routing, and official browser source links.

Block hidden-control confusion

Pause publication when users infer social account control, private-message access, silent monitoring, or unattended platform actions.

Separate trust from growth

Do not score permission copy with installs, revenue, ranking, ratings, reviews, or other customer outcome claims without dated proof.

Instrumentation guardrails

Keep metrics honest

Keep metrics as product signals

Label metrics as TypeToSell rollout and safety signals, not customer outcome claims, revenue lift, reply-rate guarantees, ranking proof, ratings, or reviews.

Separate generated from selected

Track generation starts separately from selected copy or insertion so the team does not confuse curiosity with real workflow completion.

Keep final posting outside TypeToSell

Measure draft handoff and copied or inserted text, but do not instrument TypeToSell as the system that presses the final public platform button.

FAQ

Metrics questions

What is the best Chrome permission metric?

Permission comprehension is the best first metric because it shows whether users understand the supported-site access, visible context, selected insertion, and manual posting boundary.

Should install volume be the main permission metric?

No. Install volume is weaker than permission comprehension when the risk is misunderstood browser access or unsupported trust claims.

What should fail Chrome permission metrics?

Hidden account-control confusion, private-message assumptions, social OAuth expectations, or unclear manual final posting should fail the metric review.
