It connects customer value, product logic, and decision priorities. The result is captured as a counter-metric list and guardrail definitions. | When metrics across the organization drift apart, it arranges drivers and effects under one shared logic. It connects customer value, product logic, and decision priorities. The result is captured as a KPI tree and owner list. | PESTLE Analysis makes political, economic, social, technological, legal, and environmental influences visible.
