North Star Metric
One number that captures delivered value. Align everything to it or align to nothing.
What it is
The single metric that best captures the core value your product delivers — the leading indicator of sustainable growth. Everything else is either an input to it or a distraction from it.
How we weaponize it
We facilitate the North Star workshop: derive the metric from your value moment, decompose it into input metrics each team owns, and wire it into dashboards, ad optimization targets and the weekly cadence. Vanity metrics get publicly retired.
Out-of-the-box example
A SaaS team celebrated signups while churn quietly ate the business. We moved them to 'weekly activated workspaces' — roadmap, ads and onboarding re-aligned around it, and activation rose 48% in two quarters.
