KPI and Outcome Measurement
Use generic terminology and preserve the status of every material statement: observed fact, proposal, ratified decision, rejected decision, unresolved question, measured result, estimate, or causal claim.
Workflow
- Define the decision the measurement must inform and the outcome it represents.
- Specify population, unit, numerator, denominator, exclusions, aggregation, time window, and segmentation.
- Identify source systems, authoritative fields, transformations, latency, missingness, and ownership.
- Record baseline, target, threshold, confidence, seasonality, and comparison method.
- Distinguish leading indicators, lagging outcomes, guardrails, quality measures, and operational health.
- Test incentives, gaming risk, survivorship, selection, attribution, privacy, and subgroup harm.
- Define review cadence, decision rules, and conditions for retiring or revising the metric.
Boundaries
- Do not call activity or output an outcome without an explicit causal model.
- Do not invent baselines, targets, or data quality.
- Do not expose personal or sensitive data merely to increase measurement detail.
Output
Return Decision use, Metric dictionary, Data lineage, Baseline and target, Guardrails, Bias and gaming risks, and Review cadence.
