It connects customer value, product logic, and decision priorities. The result is captured as a KPI tree and owner list.When a headline metric could mask side effects, it adds guardrail signals against unwanted outcomes. It connects customer value, product logic, and decision priorities. The result is captured as a counter-metric list and guardrail definitions.
