The point
A final positive report means the network says it reached the handset. Anything else is either still travelling or came back negative, and both deserve different treatment.

Why it keeps coming up
Delivered means confirmed, not assumed. It is one of those things every team works out eventually, usually after a campaign that did not do what it should have.
What to do with it
Change one thing at a time and measure it. Delivery rate first, then what people did next. A high delivery rate with no response is a wording problem, not a sending problem.
How the platform helps
Segments, costs, sender names and per message statuses are all on screen while you work, so the decision happens before the money moves rather than after.
