TURF, portfolio and assortment techniques

Reach, assortment and optimisation methods for selecting combinations under constraints and diminishing returns.

Methods family

Reach, assortment and optimisation methods for selecting combinations under constraints and diminishing returns.

Use methods only after defining the estimand, data structure, assumptions, validation plan and decision consequence.

TURF analysis

TURF estimates the unduplicated reach and frequency achieved by combinations of items. It is useful for portfolios, claims or messages when the objective is coverage rather than average appeal.
