What problem does it solve?
This Skill removes ambiguity around which metrics matter and how to track them so product teams can focus on measurable outcomes instead of vanity numbers. It helps teams choose a North Star, build a concise L1 scorecard, diagnose issues with L2 diagnostics, and create dashboards and cadences that lead to action.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Metric hierarchy & North Star selection: Identify a single north star metric and a 5-7 metric L1 health scorecard mapped across acquisition, activation, engagement, retention, monetization, and satisfaction.
- Diagnostic tooling & cohort analysis: Provide L2 metrics and funnel checkpoints for troubleshooting retention drops, conversion bottlenecks, and feature adoption gaps.
- Goal setting & cadence: Templates and best practices for OKRs, weekly checks, monthly reviews, and quarterly business reviews that tie metrics to decisions.
- Dashboard design: Principles for layout, context, comparisons, visual status indicators, and alert hygiene to ensure dashboards are actionable not noisy.
- Use case: A PM setting quarterly OKRs can use the Skill to define a north star, pick 3 OKRs with measurable KRs, design a dashboard that shows progress, and set weekly review agenda items.
