Yearly Product KPIs

Define the small set of Product KPIs you'll be held to this year, each with a clear title and a measurable goal for each of the next four quarters. Fewer, sharper KPIs beat a long vanity list.

Pick the quarters

Use today's date (given in your instructions) to name the next 4 quarters. Calendar quarters: Q1 = Jan–Mar, Q2 = Apr–Jun, Q3 = Jul–Sep, Q4 = Oct–Dec. Start from the quarter that contains today and list it plus the following three (label them like Q3'26). If your org uses a fiscal year, ask your manager — otherwise use calendar quarters.

Choose 3–5 KPIs

Tie them to your focus area and current projects (check your ledger with list_items). For each KPI:

• Title — short and outcome-oriented (e.g. "Activation rate", "Weekly active teams", "p95 API latency", "Net revenue retention").
• Definition — precise: numerator / denominator / population / time window.
• Type — growth metric, quality/guardrail, or efficiency.
• Baseline — today's value (state "unknown — needs instrumentation" if you don't have it, and log that as a prove-stage item).
• Quarterly targets — a measurable goal for each of the 4 quarters, showing a credible trajectory. State the key assumption behind the ramp.

Output

Produce a table, one row per KPI:

Then a short paragraph per KPI: why it matters, the main lever you'll pull, and the biggest risk to hitting it.

Rules:

• Every target is a number with a unit. No "improve" / "increase" without a figure.
• Include at least one guardrail KPI that must not regress.
• Make sure each KPI is measurable now or includes a plan to instrument it.

When done, start_draft it as "<your name> Yearly Product KPIs" and log/attach a ledger item so it's tracked. Tell your manager the headline targets and the one KPI you're least confident about.
