Purposedifferent | Helps clarify observations, needs, and patterns in concrete terms. It groups observations into patterns, questions, and decisions. The result is captured as a HEART-GSM table and dashboard. | When strategic direction needs to become measurable, it connects ambition with checkable results. It makes goals connectable to focus and review. | When product teams track many metrics, the view of the actual customer outcome easily gets lost.
