Quarterly objectives · The measure per objective · Element
The baseline
Where the measure stood when the quarter began.

What it is
Without a baseline, a threshold is a number with no meaning. Improvement cannot be distinguished from a starting position that was already good.
Recording it at the start also removes the temptation to reconstruct a flattering one at the end.
The smallest level
The attributes it carries

The other elements in the measure per objective
