Quarterly objectives · The measure per objective · Element

The indicator

The single measure that decides whether the objective was met.

The part

What it is

The test of a decisive measure is that it would settle an argument. If two reasonable people could still disagree after seeing it, it is not the right one.

Direction matters as much as threshold: whether higher or lower is better should never be inferred.

The smallest level

The attributes it carries

Each attribute is one of the framework’s shared types. What a date is, and how it is written, is defined once for the whole model — the note here says what it means in this particular place.
