Metric Tree Builder Skill

A north-star metric you can't decompose is a number you can't move. This skill breaks it into the multiplicative/additive drivers beneath it, down to metrics a team can actually act on — and points at the highest-leverage levers.

Working from a brief

Given a top metric and a rough business model, build the full tree anyway, inferring the standard driver structure for that model and marking assumptions. Never stop at one level; push down to input metrics someone owns.

Required Inputs

Ask for (if not already provided):

• The north-star / top metric (e.g. weekly active revenue, MRR, GMV, activated users)
• Business model (subscription, marketplace, ads, transactional, freemium)
• Where the team can act (which teams own which surfaces)
• Current pain (the metric is flat / dropping — optional, focuses the tree)
