This walks you through defining a North Star Metric and the 3-5 input metrics that drive it. It starts by classifying your business into one of three games (Attention, Transaction, or Productivity), then validates your metric against seven criteria like being customer-centric, actionable, and a leading indicator of revenue. The framework is opinionated about what a North Star isn't (not revenue, not an OKR, not multiple metrics), which actually helps cut through the confusion. Use this when you're setting up a metrics framework from scratch or need to pressure test whether your current "North Star" actually meets the standard. It includes links to deeper resources on related frameworks like AARRR and HEART.
