Activation Scorecard
A Valley workspace is fully activated when it's sending consistently, using both Messaging and InMail, running warm lists, and managing inbox daily. Most users activate within 2 weeks. If you haven't, this scorecard shows exactly what's missing.

Scoring
14-16: Fully Activated. You're using Valley like a pro. Keep scaling - add more campaigns, expand warm lists, and document what works.
10-13: Almost There. Review the gaps and address them this week. Most commonly: add an InMail campaign, turn on Autopilot, or bump up daily send volume.
6-9: Underutilized. You're leaving pipeline on the table. Pick the 3 most impactful gaps and fix them this week. Usually: launch campaigns, set up warm lists, and check inbox daily.
Under 6: Setup Incomplete. Go back to the Getting Started guides and complete your foundation. Setup takes 30 minutes. Do it today.
