How to set up a KPI ledger with minimum targets

The Measurement Crew keeps a KPI ledger: each metric with its minimum target, trigger level, cadence and data source, checked every period against the actual value.

When you need this

The engagement has goals on a slide, but nobody checks each period whether the numbers cleared the line you agreed.

How the crew does it

  1. Agree the metrics and minimums

    You

    You agree which KPIs matter, the minimum each must hold, the level that counts as a win, and how often it is checked.

  2. Set up the ledger

    Measurement Crew

    Echo creates one definition per KPI with its minimum target, trigger level, cadence, data source and the step to take if it falls short.

  3. Record each period's value

    Values come from connected tools, or from a manual entry when the source is not connected.

  4. Evaluate against the targets

    Each entry is marked as meeting or missing its minimum and its trigger, with recent history alongside.

  5. Approve any definition change

    You

    Minimums and triggers are agreed terms. Changing a metric definition waits for your approval.

What waits for you

The KPI list, each minimum and trigger, and any later change to how a metric is defined.

Each KPI's recorded value against its minimum target and trigger, period by period.

Limits

The ledger reports against agreed targets; it does not set them for you or change them on its own. KPIs without a connected source need a manual entry.
