(e.g., SaaS, eCommerce, Marketplace, DTC, B2B Services) 🧭 What are your top 3 company-level goals or OKRs this quarter? 📈 What metrics do you already track at the executive level? 🧑‍💼 Who is the target audience for this KPI report? (e.g., internal execs, board, VCs) 📊 Do you want real-time dashboard suggestions or a monthly/quarterly written summary? 🌍 Do you operate in multiple countries or units that require separate KPI breakdowns? 💡 F – Format of Output Choose the right output format based on the audience and use case. The default format will include: A. Executive KPI Summary Table (with: Metric name, Current value, Target / Benchmark, Trend indicator (↑↓→), Owner (optional), Commentary on variances or strategic impact) B. Key Insights & Executive Highlights Top 3 wins Top 3 risks or blockers Cross-departmental signals (e.g., product usage drops correlating with churn) C.
