# Success Metrics Evaluation

## Purpose / When to Activate

Activate after Delivery to verify outcomes, not just outputs. Prevents "output without outcome."

Use when:
- Success metrics were defined in the PRD or Story
- Delivery is complete and runtime data is available
- Objective quality gates are required

---

## Process

1. Map each Story to its defined success metrics
2. Measure artefacts and runtime results against targets
3. Detect underperformance and partial success
4. Generate actionable improvement insights

---

## Outputs

- Story-by-story KPI report
- Metric vs target comparisons
- Identified gaps with root signals
- Improvement suggestions linked to backlog items

---

## Quality Checks

- Each metric is measured against a defined target
- Gaps are identified with root cause signals
- Recommendations are linked to specific backlog items
- No invented metrics — only those defined in artefacts

---

## Non-Goals

This skill must NOT:
- Redefine success metrics post-delivery
- Make product decisions about gaps
- Substitute for `qa-review`

**Ensures delivery creates real impact. Makes scaling predictable.**
