The document outlines a process for analyzing key metrics over time and in comparison to others. It includes taking a snapshot of the current metric, analyzing its trend over time, benchmarking it against peer metrics, and consolidating the assessment by comparing trends and trajectories both over time and to other metrics. Graphs are provided to illustrate trends and trajectories.

1. 1. Snapshot – we have a number which is important to us
2. Trend – what’s happening over time
3. Benchmark – how this measures compares to others
4. Consolidate Assessment – compare over time and to others
5a. Trend for the comparison to others
5b. The trajectory for our measure
5c. Trajectory for the comparison to others
