The Audience Health Report Card gives you a fast, practical snapshot of how healthy your audience is right now. It combines engagement, deliverability, growth, risk, and fatigue signals into one report so you can spot issues early and take action before performance slips.
What you’ll learn
- How healthy your audience is overall (and what’s changing)
- Where engagement is strong or declining
- Whether deliverability signals look safe
- If growth is trending up or down
- Which contacts are most at risk (and what to do about it)
- When send frequency may be causing fatigue

Report toolbar
At the top of the report card, you can control how you view and share the report. These options help you switch between quick scanning and deeper detail, as well as refresh or print the report when needed.
Groups
Use the Groups selector to choose what you want to analyze:
- Entire audience: shows engagement across the full audience.
- Specific group: shows engagement for contacts inside one group.
Group availability (important)
Only groups that have been used within the last 30 days will be available for reporting. If a group hasn’t been used recently, it may not appear in the selector until the group is used again.
View mode (Simple / Detailed)
Use this to control how much information you see:
- Simple: a streamlined view that highlights the most important numbers and insights
- Detailed: adds additional breakdowns and supporting metrics for deeper analysis
Refresh
Refresh pulls the latest available data for the report card. Use this if you recently sent a campaign, imported contacts, or made changes and want the newest results.
Prints the report card so you can share it with teammates or save it for review.

Overview
This report card is designed to answer one question: "Is this audience healthy enough to keep sending… and if not, why?" You’ll see a health score, key metrics, and insights that highlight what Tarvent thinks matters most right now.
Overall health score
The overall health score is a 0–100 indicator that summarizes the audience’s current condition. It’s influenced by engagement, deliverability, growth, risk, and fatigue signals.
Health status
Along with the score, you may see a status label that describes the overall condition (for example: healthy vs needs attention).
Health score change
Some audiences will show a change indicator to reflect how the health score has moved recently (for example: up or down compared to last week).
Insights
Insights are short, action-focused callouts. They highlight what Tarvent thinks deserves attention (or celebration) right now. Not every audience will show insights, and the insights you see can change as your metrics change.
Insight types
- Critical: urgent issue that can affect performance or reputation quickly
- Warning: important signal that needs attention soon
- Info: helpful observation or positive feedback
What insights may appear
Here are examples of insights that may show up in the report card:
Deliverability insights
- Sending gap alerts
If it’s been too long since your last campaign, Tarvent may recommend sending soon to protect sender reputation. - Deliverability score decline
If deliverability drops significantly, Tarvent may recommend reviewing list quality or recent sending changes. - Send cadence consistency
If sending becomes irregular or declines, Tarvent may recommend establishing a more consistent schedule.
Re-engagement insights
- At-risk re-engagement opportunity
If many previously engaged contacts are starting to slip, Tarvent may suggest a re-engagement campaign. - Dormant reactivation opportunity
If you have a meaningful number of dormant contacts with strong re-engagement potential, Tarvent may suggest a win-back campaign. - Never-engaged warning
If a large portion of your audience has never opened or clicked, Tarvent may recommend welcome series improvements or list hygiene.
Growth insights
- Audience shrinking
If you’re losing more contacts than you’re gaining, Tarvent may recommend reviewing unsubscribe reasons and boosting acquisition. - Negative growth trend
If growth is slightly negative, Tarvent may recommend increasing acquisition activities.
Engagement insights
- Low engagement
If average engagement is low and only a small portion of contacts are engaged, Tarvent may recommend segmentation and content improvements. - Engagement improving
If engagement is trending up, Tarvent may call it out so you can keep doing what’s working. - Best campaign recognition
If a specific campaign performed especially well, Tarvent may highlight it so you can replicate the winning elements.
Risk and fatigue insights
- High churn risk
If many contacts show strong signals they may churn (unsubscribe or disengage), Tarvent may recommend retention actions. - High fatigue detected
If send frequency is high and engagement is declining, Tarvent may recommend reducing frequency and improving targeting/content. - Declining engagement trend
If a significant portion of contacts are trending downward, Tarvent may recommend auditing recent campaign strategy.
Engagement
This section summarizes how engaged the audience is right now and how that engagement is trending.
- Average engagement score: average score across mailable contacts (0–100)
- Hot / Warm / Cold / Inactive / Pending Score: engagement level distribution
- Improving / Stable / Declining: trend distribution
Deliverability
Deliverability indicates whether inbox providers are likely to trust your sending. If deliverability signals are poor, fix that first. Great content doesn’t help if it doesn’t land in the inbox.
- Deliverability health score: overall deliverability indicator (0–100)
- Deliverability risk level: low/medium/high indicator based on deliverability signals
- Days since last campaign: how long it’s been since you last sent a campaign for this audience
Growth
Growth shows whether your audience is expanding or shrinking in recent activity.
- New subscribers: contacts added during the period
- Unsubscribes: contacts that opted out during the period
- Net growth: new subscribers minus unsubscribes
- Growth rate: growth relative to active contacts
- Acquisition quality: quality indicator for newly acquired subscribers based on early engagement signals
Re-engagement
Re-engagement helps you identify contacts that are slipping and may still be recoverable.
- Re-engagement opportunity: contacts worth targeting with a reactivation campaign
- High priority re-engagement: the most at-risk contacts with strong recovery potential
- Dormant contacts: contacts that have not engaged recently but may respond to a win-back sequence
- Never engaged: contacts that have never opened or clicked
Risk indicators
Risk indicators help you spot contacts most likely to churn or unsubscribe.
- Churn risk: likelihood a contact will become inactive or churn
- Unsubscribe risk: likelihood a contact will opt out soon
- High risk counts: how many contacts fall into high-risk thresholds
Fatigue
Fatigue signals when the audience may be oversaturated. Oversending often causes engagement to decline over time.
- Average fatigue score: overall fatigue indicator across the audience
- Fatigue risk level: low/medium/high indicator
- Campaigns sent (30 days): used to help detect oversending patterns
- Engagement decay: signal that engagement is slipping across recent sends
- Consecutive declines: count of consecutive campaigns with declining engagement
How to use this report
- Start with the insights. They’re designed to point to what matters most right now.
- If deliverability is risky, fix that first (cadence, list quality, complaint/bounce causes).
- If engagement is weak, segment and adjust content relevance and targeting.
- If growth is negative, review acquisition sources and unsubscribe drivers.
- If fatigue is high, reduce frequency and tighten targeting.
- Use Detailed view when you need to diagnose the "why" behind the score.
FAQ
Why don’t I see the same insights every time?
Insights are generated from your current audience signals. When your data changes (new sends, new contacts, engagement shifts), the insights can change too.
Why do some sections show zeros or blanks?
If the audience is new, has limited sending history, or doesn’t yet have enough engagement data, some metrics may be unavailable. As you send campaigns and engagement data builds, the report card fills in.
Does Simple vs Detailed change the score?
No. The view mode changes how much information you see, not the underlying calculations.
When should I use Refresh?
Use Refresh after significant changes like sending a campaign, importing contacts, or cleaning the list, so you can see updated results.
