kpi-tracker-design

Design a KPI tracker that drives decisions instead of decorating them — the few-metrics discipline (5–9, each with an owner and a so-what), targets with honest baselines, the trend-first layout, and the review ritual where the tracker actually gets used. Use when asked set up KPI tracking for the team, build a metrics dashboard in sheets, which numbers should we track, or our dashboard exists but nobody acts on it. Produces the metric selection with kill-list, the tracker structure, the target-setting notes, and the review ritual.

# KPI Tracker Design Skill

KPI trackers fail by addition: every meeting adds a metric, none subtracts, and within two quarters the tracker is a wall of numbers nobody reads — motion without instrumentation. The working tracker is small (5–9 metrics, each with an owner and a written so-what), trend-first (a number without its history is a Rorschach test), honestly baselined before targets exist, and — the part that decides everything — *attached to a ritual* where someone reads it aloud and decisions reference it. The tracker is the artifact; the ritual is the product.

## What This Skill Produces

- **The metric selection** — 5–9 survivors of the so-what test, each: definition, source, owner, cadence — plus the kill-list of metrics deliberately not tracked, with reasons
- **The tracker structure** — metric × period grid, trend columns/sparklines, target and threshold lines
- **The target notes** — baseline-first discipline: track before targeting; targets with owners and reasons, not round numbers
- **The review ritual** — where, when, who reads it, and the metric-in-every-decision norm
