About this project

Metric design is the high-leverage analyst skill. This project teaches the discipline: north-star selection (vs vanity metrics), input-metric decomposition, guardrail definition (what we will not regress), and the dashboard design that makes the tree legible. Pick a product you know deeply and produce the document + a working dashboard.

Why build this in 2026?

Strong metric design is one of the highest-impact analyst contributions. Most teams have weak metric trees.
