Sandbox Conversion Without Guesswork

Sandbox traffic spikes when tutorials ship, hackathons run, or internal teams rehearse demos. Counting every sandbox call as progress inflates adoption. Define conversion as a developer (or organisation) that moves from sandbox success to a production key with meaningful traffic inside a clear window — often thirty or sixty days.

Segment internal testers from external partners. Otherwise your portal “wins” are mostly your own engineers.

Publish the definition next to the chart. Future teammates will thank you when someone tries to redefine conversion mid-quarter to make a slide look better.
