Tutorial — Working with the KPI Page

What This Tool Is For

How to track the indicators that matter, filter them meaningfully, and avoid the classic KPI traps.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Step 1 — Select the project and use category tabs to slice the indicator set (growth, retention, efficiency, cost).

Step 2 — For each KPI, read three things: the current value, the trend against previous periods, and the target if one is set. A value without trend is decoration.

Step 3 — Pair complementary indicators rather than worshiping one: growth with retention, acquisition cost with payback, margin with volume. Every flattering single number has a partner that keeps it honest.

Step 4 — Investigate at the source: a KPI is a fraction; when it moves, click into numerator and denominator before theorizing.

Real-World Example

Scenario: The retention KPI dips two points. Panic? The reader checks the pair: gross retention is flat — existing customers are NOT leaving faster. The numerator reveals the truth: a large one-time expansion last month inflated the baseline, making this month look like a dip. Nothing is wrong; the metric mechanics created the illusion. Twenty minutes of pairing-and-decomposing replaced a week of misdirected churn-fighting.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• A KPI moving for a mechanical reason (baseline effects, one-offs) is the most common false alarm — decompose before reacting.
• Three to seven KPIs per area, read weekly, beat thirty read never.
• Annotate known events (price change, big campaign) mentally when reading trends; context turns wiggles into stories.
