If reports exist but decisions don't follow from them, you have data without a system.

  • Lots of reports, no answersNumbers everywhere, yet nobody can say what to fix this week.
  • Everyone counts differentlyThe same metric has three values depending on who you ask.
  • You notice problems lateBad months show up in the P&L when it is too late to react.
  • Goals without levers"Grow revenue 30%" with no idea which numbers make it happen.

FAQ

Do I need BI tools?

No. The templates work with numbers you collect by hand or export from your systems. Tools can come later.

How many metrics should I track?

Fewer than you think. The weekly dashboard is designed for 7–10 numbers.

Why is this step 04 and not 01?

Because good metrics come from the P&L, the customer journey and the processes. By now you know what to measure.

Do you offer a session to review it?

Not yet. 1:1 review sessions are coming soon.
