A cursory review of the report's pages reveals that the
sample data appears to match Internet Sales Amount with Internet

pursuits, as we have occurrences of -1, 0, and 1 throughout the report. We will
not delve into the KPIs themselves at this point – we have what we need
to move to the next (and concluding) section.
