a great metric...
...makes you look at all the other metrics
and say “none of those other numbers

features that deliver value to the user.

• “percent of...” [ % ]
Is there a time basis?
Is it comparative?

• “per month” [ ___/mo]
Is there an object basis?
* not required, but super-helpful
• “per user” [ ___/user]
