Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between a metric and a KPI?

A metric is any piece of data, like website visits. A KPI (Key Performance Indicator) is a metric that directly measures progress toward a strategic goal, like Conversion Rate.

How many KPIs should we track?

We recommend keeping it simple: 3-5 key KPIs at the executive level and 5-7 supporting KPIs for departments. Fewer, high-impact metrics are usually more effective.

Can you help us set up these metrics in our reporting tools?

Absolutely. We guide the data strategy and help implement the KPIs in your existing BI tools, like Power BI, Looker Studio, or Tableau, so your reporting is accurate and actionable.

Measure Progress. Drive Results.
