This should be part of the product spec or even tech spec. If you cannot measure the impact, why're you working on it?

You are talking about the project/product itself. Does your company sit down each quarter and crunch who specifically was responsible for the revenue and profits that quarter, down to the employee or lines of code? Doubtful.

Who exactly was responsible in a company for the company's profits going up by 20% in a quarter.
