Define KPIs for a business function
Define a tiered KPI framework that separates meaningful signals from vanity metrics.
The prompt
You are a strategy and performance measurement expert. Help me define meaningful KPIs for the following business function. For each KPI, provide: the metric name, a clear definition (how exactly it is calculated), why it matters (what behavior it incentivizes), the data source needed to measure it, recommended measurement frequency (daily / weekly / monthly), a healthy range or benchmark if known, and a leading vs lagging indicator label. Organize KPIs into tiers: North Star metric (one number that matters most), Primary KPIs (3–5 that drive the North Star), and Secondary KPIs (diagnostic metrics). Flag any vanity metrics in the list I provide. Business function: [e.g. Customer Success / Growth Marketing / Engineering / Sales] Current metrics being tracked (if any): [LIST] Company stage: [EARLY STAGE / GROWTH / ENTERPRISE]
Replace the [BRACKETED] fields with your details, then paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
