Segmentation
Grouping records so performance can be compared by type.
Definition
Segmentation is Grouping records so performance can be compared by type. In day-to-day operations, it matters when the data needs to be broken into comparable groups instead of being treated as one average pile.
Operationally, it matters because segmented analysis is where patterns emerge that a top-line report will always hide. It helps teams see which residents, assets, or time periods are actually driving the result.
Use cases
Use Segmentation to break a blended result into groups that can actually be compared.
Review Segmentation when the team needs to show which cohort or segment is driving the change.
Track Segmentation so operations can avoid making portfolio decisions off one misleading average.
