Metrics dashboard

One north star, four metric families, twelve KPIs.

Public-facing where credible. Updated weekly during the engagement. Everything rolls up to the north star: weekly active developers running ≥3 sources.

North star

Weekly active developers running ≥3 sources.

Captures product-market fit (installed), activation (configured sources), and stickiness (using multiple). One number, all the answers.

12-month KPI targets
