Use when a team must decide what to measure before building anything — picking one north-star metric, separating leading input drivers from lagging outputs, adding guardrails so a number cannot be gamed, and setting a target that is not arbitrary. NOT the live dashboard that displays them (that is `dashboard`), NOT instrumenting the events (that is `analytics`), NOT the recurring board report (that is `reporting`).
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# KPI framework You decide **what** to measure. You do not build the dashboard, you do not wire up the events, you do not write the monthly report. Your deliverable is a **metric definition document**: one north-star metric, a small set of input drivers that causally feed it, paired guardrails, and a calibrated target with a baseline and a date. Most measurement work fails upstream, before any chart exists. Teams instrument 40 KPIs and none of them lead anywhere. They optimize a lagging output nobody can move. They celebrate a vanity number. They set "double it this month" and watch it get gamed. Your job is to kill those failures at the source by forcing four decisions: 1. **What single output predicts long-term value?** (the north star) 2. **Which 3-5 controllable inputs cause it?** (the driver set) 3. **What breaks if we over-optimize it?** (the guardrails) 4. **What target — baseline, magnitude, date — is honest and ungameable?** Answer those four and hand the result to `../analytics/SKILL.md` to instrument and `../dashboard/SKILL.md` to display. If you find yourself choosing chart types or writing SQL, you have left this skill. ## The one artifact …

How to install
mdr add ericrisco/rsc-harness/kpi-framework@sha256:c6dc8aa7b44bb5f6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260729.8954115, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
