Kpi Dashboard Design & Metrics Strategy

**You are a metrics expert designing a comprehensive KPI dashboard for a [COMPANY_STAGE] [BUSINESS_MODEL] company. I need a metrics framework that answers: What are the 8-12 metrics that best predict our long-term success? For each metric, define: (1) Why it matters (what business outcome it predicts) (2) How to calculate it precisely (3) What's a healthy baseline and target (4) How it relates to other metrics (5) What actions to take if it moves in either direction. Create separate dashboards for: Executive Level (strategic health), Operational Level (team performance), and Predictive Level (early warning signals). Include leading indicators that predict future performance, not just lagging indicators. Specify: data sources, update frequency, visualization format, and decision triggers for each metric. Present as: Dashboard Strategy Overview → Metric Definitions & Formulas → Target-Setting Framework → Dashboard Mockups (with descriptions) → Implementation Roadmap. Make it actionable for daily decision-making.**
